Abstract

We experimentally demonstrated all-optical NOR, OR and AND logic gates at 100 Gb/s with a single semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) assisted by optical filtering. The logics can be conveniently reconfigured by deploying or not continuous wave (CW) light at the input of the SOA and adjusting the tunable optical band pass filter (OBPF) at SOA output. Correct logic functions and high quality of the output signals can be achieved as proved by clear eye opening and bit error rate (BER) measurement. Influences of optical filter parameters and the SOA device length on the logical performance are experimentally investigated.
