Abstract

The performance of NOR functions implemented all-optically (AO) using quantum dot semiconductor optical amplifier (QD-SOA) and quantum dot reflective semiconductor optical amplifier (QD-RSOA) based on cross gain modulation effect is simulated and investigated. The dependence of the output extinction ratio and conversion efficiency on key parameters is analyzed and assessed. The obtained results show that the NOR AO Boolean functions can simultaneously be realized with the employed scheme with logical correctness, high output extinction ratio and conversion efficiency.
