All-Optical Logic Gates Using Semiconductor Optical Amplifier : Design and Applications

The development of optical logic technology is important for a wide range of applications in the optical networks. This invaluable book provides a comprehensive treatment of the design and applications of all-optical logic gates using semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs). In this book, I propose a new scheme to realize all optical logic gates at high speeds. Effect of amplified spontaneous emission on SOAs based all-optical logic gates is presented. The treatments of this book are detailed enough to capture the interest of the curious reader and sufficiently complete to provide the necessary background to explore the subject further. It is intended to be used as an advanced text by graduate students and by practicing engineers but also suitable for non-experts who wish to have an overview of all-optical logic gates
