Abstract
Abstract In the present work, the performance of the all-optical AND logic gate using four wave mixing in wide band semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) has been analyzed for different modulation formats. The two binary inputs of all-optical AND gate are modulated by return to zero and non-return to zero (NRZ) modulation formats. The quality factor (Q-factor) has been examined on the basis of critical parameters of SOA. The obtained results show that the acceptable Q-factor (>6) is possible with the proposed design at input signal power even as low as 50 μW (−13 dBm), when the data is modulated in NRZ on-off keying (OOK) format.
