In this paper we present a novel approach for realizing an integrated all-optical logic gate. The basic principle is based upon stimulated emission process generated in an active gain medium while special interferometric photonic wave-guiding structure allows the realization of an integrated micro s

In recent years, reversible logic has emerged as a promising computing paradigm having application in low-power CMOS, quantum computing, nanotechnology and optical computing. Optical logic gates have the potential to work at macroscopic (light pulses carry information), or quantum (single photons ca
## Abstract A novel allโoptical logic OR gate based on crossโgain modulation (XGM) using a twoโcascaded 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
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
