  • Abstract
    The authors demonstrate cascadable optical logic (AND-, OR- and exclusive OR-gates) implemented with heterojunction phototransistors and vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers. They also discuss an architecture for implementing binary arithmetic using cascadable surface-emitting laser logic devices and optical symbolic substitution.
