✦ Synopsis

A model for the terahertz optical asymmetric demultiplexer ( ) TOAD is presented, and its performance is assessed. A numerical ( ) model of a semiconductor laser amplifier SLA used as a nonlinear element is also gi¨en. Results of SLA carrier density, switching window, pulse switching, and a comparison of phase modulation and power gain for a frame rate higher than the recombination are presented. Also in¨estigated is the required optimum loop asymmetry for producing the desired switching window for channel selection, with reduced crosstalk, at the output port.
