Abstract

A scheme for all-optical NOR logic gate is proposed based on injection-locking effect in a semiconductor laser. In this scheme, signal light injection into the laser will cause frequency shift of laser modes, as a result, the probe light into the laser can be switched between injection-locked and unlocked status, and its output power will be modulated. Theoretical analysis for this scheme is carried out by using a model to describe the dynamics of the injection-locked laser. By numerical simulation, the influence of laser bias current, laser length, injected signal power and signal frequency on the output performance of NOR logic gate is quantitatively analyzed.
