All-optical Digital Logic Gates using Bistable Semiconductor Ring Lasers
This paper demonstrates all-optical digital logic gates using bistable monolithic semiconductor ring lasers (SRLs). With the flexible multi-functional experimental setup, we have experimentally demonstrated the application of SRLs to realize logic functions including: AND, OR, NOR, XOR and all-optical non-return-to-zero (NRZ) to return-to-zero (RZ) format conversion. Using bistable semiconducto...
متن کاملMode - locked fiber ring lasers with semiconductor optical
This thesis is on the development of high-speed pulsed lasers at wavelengths around 1.55 m for applications in the fiber optic communications field. The realization of future optical transmission systems and signal processing circuits will require such optical pulse sources, capable of producing picosecond pulses with a low timing jitter at repetition rates of tens or even hundreds of Gigahertz...
متن کاملSolitary and coupled semiconductor ring lasers as optical spiking neurons.
We theoretically investigate the possibility of generating pulses in an excitable (asymmetric) semiconductor ring laser (SRL) using optical trigger pulses. We show that the phase difference between the injected field and the electric field inside the SRL determines the direction of the perturbation in phase space. Due to the folded shape of the excitability threshold, this has an important infl...
متن کاملAlternate oscillations in semiconductor ring lasers.
We report on fabrication and characterization of single-longitudinal- and transverse-mode semiconductor ring lasers. A bifurcation from bidirectional stable operation to a regime with alternate oscillations of the counterpropagating modes was observed experimentally and is theoretically explained through a two-mode model. Analytical expressions for the onset and the frequency of the oscillation...
متن کاملTheoretical analysis of optical injection locking in semiconductor DFB lasers, influence of the injection direction
Theoretical results concerning injection locking in complex cavity semiconductor lasers are reported. A general equation for the complex temporal envelope of the optical field is derived. The injection direction influence is taken into account and the difference between front and rear phase noise is pointed out and demonstrated. Numerical results are given concerning the feed-in rate of differe...
