반도체 광증폭기를 이용한 다기능 전광 논리 소자의 설계 및 측정

Abstract

반도체 광증폭기에 기반을 둔 이득포화특성을 이용하여 XOR, AND, OR 논리 게이트를 동시에 구현하는 다기능 전광 논리소자를 설계하고 구현하였다. 상용화된 프로그램인 VPI Component <TEX>$Maker^{TM}$</TEX>을 사용하여 시뮬레이션을 수행하였고 10 Gbit/s의 입력 신호를 사용하여 XOR, AND, OR 논리동작을 동시에 구현하는 다기능 전광 논리소자를 구현하였다. Using the cross-gain modulation (XGM) characteristics of semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs), multi-functional all-optical logic gates, including XOR, AND, and OR gates are successfully simulated and demonstrated at 10Gbit/s. A VPI component maker^TM simulation tool is used for the simulation of multi-functional all-optical logic gates and the10 Cbit/s input signal is made by a mode-locked fiber ring laser. A multi-quantum well (MQW) SOA is used for the simulation and demonstration of the all-optical logic system. Our suggested system is composed of three MQW SOAs, SOA-1 and SOA-2 for XOR logic operation and SOA-2 and SOA-3 for AND logic operation. By the addition of two output signals XOR and AND, all-optical OR logic can be obtained.
