Abstract

Hybrid encoding technique for the representation of the binary states of information, four-wave mixing in semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) as frequency generator and cross-polarization rotation effect in semiconductor optical amplifier as a frequency converter are used to design all-optical universal logic gate NAND. The devices can perform ultrafast operation and easily integrable. The simulated results of the proposed logic gate ensure feasibility of the proposals.
