✦ Synopsis

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 extinction ratio of about 7 dB. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract We propose an all‐optical switch based on cross‐polarization modulation in a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA), operating at 2.5 Gbits/s with an NRZ pseudorandom data sequence. The effect consists of an induced modification of the birefringence and waveguide eigenmodes of an SOA pro
