and Computer Engineering 3(2): 30-33(2014) Analysis of Optical Logic Gates Based on SOA

ABSTRACT: Optical packet networks topic has drawn to itself wonderful concern within the last few years. A lot of efforts have been addressed to deal with all those issues derived from the use of optical packets to carry the information. In this dissertation we focused on the XOR logic gate implementation, because it is a very versatile approach for implementing many functions in optical communication networks. We develop and study of a novel architecture based on SOA-MZIs to perform the logic XOR operation between two input binary sequences. The experimental implementation and operation arguments of the optical XOR logic gate at 10 Gbit/s. Header processing is one of the principal functionalities required at intermediate nodes, where a packet must be routed to the corresponding premises
