All-optical OR operation has been demonstrated using a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) and delayed interferometer (DI) at 20 and 40 Gb/s. The DI is based on a polarization maintaining loop mirror. Q-factor of the operation is discussed through the numerical simulations. The results show the OR

## Abstract In this paper, the all‐optical realization of a logic OR gate using gain saturation in a standard semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) is successfully experimentally demonstrated. This reported feasibility study shows the all‐optical OR function can be easily achieved with an extinctio
## Abstract A novel all‐optical logic OR gate based on cross‐gain modulation (XGM) using a two‐cascaded semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) in a counterpropagating topology is presented. The attractive issue of the proposed method is that the logic OR gate can be obtained at a probe wavelength
## Abstract Based on cross‐gain modulation (XGM) in cascaded semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs), all‐optical AND and NOR operations at 20 Gb/s were both realized in the same configuration. By controlling the input signal power, the two logic gates can be achieved from different output channels
## Abstract In this paper, the all‐optical exclusive OR gate using an integrated SOA‐based Mach–Zehnder interferometer with a differential modulation scheme is proved to exceed the operation speed limit effectively through numerical analysis for the first time. The control‐signal pulse parameters a
