Abstract
The authors have developed a set of equivalent circuit models for optical logic gates based on the saturable gain and saturable absorption phenomena, and have implemented them on the iSMILE circuit simulator. These models have been created with a highly modular design to facilitate the construction of complex logic functions. Several design issues, such as logic threshold and switching speed, have been addressed. models for the AND, OR, NAND, NOR and NOT gates, are presented, as well as detailed simulation results
