Abstract
This paper presented an optical combinational circuit based on nonlinearities of semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) and its associated configuration. The associated circuits used are semiconductor optical amplifier - Mach Zehnder Interferometer (SOA-MZI) and semiconductor optical amplifier plus dispersion compensation fiber (SOA + DCF) for packet contention detection. The optical combinational circuits include the optical adder connected in 2 × 2 optical node for the optical packet management. All nodes have capability of decisions and processing of incoming optical signals at 1.25 Gbps. The system performance has been evaluated and optimized by varying the SOA parameters. The proposed optical combinational circuit is also suitable for network with 3 × 3 optical node. The proposed optical combinational circuit can be verified at 10 Gbps for the next generation broadband optical network.
