Ultrafast all-optical XOR logic gate based on a symmetrical Mach-Zehnder interferometer employing SOI waveguides

We present an integrated Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) based Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) in order to perform ultrafast all-optical XOR logic gate operation with a bit rate of ∼ 0.33 Tb/s. A numerical simulation is carried out in order to study various parameters such as extinction ratio and eye-opening parameters, characterizing the performance of the XOR logic gate. The output XOR logic gate signal can have improved extinction and eye margin if the initial powers of primary signals and the probe continuous-wave (CW), and SOI waveguide length are judiciously adjusted.     

Enhancing and suppressing four‐wave mixing in electromagnetically induced transparency window

We demonstrate the enhancement and suppression of four‐wave mixing (FWM) in an electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) window in Y‐type ⁸⁵Rb atomic system. The generated two‐photon FWM signal can be selectively enhanced and suppressed via an EIT window. The EIT of probe as well as the enhancement and suppression of FWM signals can be modified by the sequential‐cascade double dressing. The influence of different probe polarization configurations is also studied. Different polarization states of the probe laser can select different transitions among Zeeman sublevels and different dressing strengths. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

All-optical NOT and XOR logic operation at 2.5 Gb／s based on semiconductor optical amplifier loop mirror

All-optical XOR and NOT logic operations based on semiconductor optical amplifier loop mirror (SLALOM) aresimultaneously demonstrated theoretically and experimentally. Based on a segmented semiconductor optical amplifier model, the all-optical logic operation process is simulated theoretically. In an experimental study, 2.5 Gb/s all-optical XOR operation was achieved in the output port of SLALOM, while all-optical NOT operation was achieved in the input port through a circulator at the same time.
