Abstract :
All-optical logic AND at 20 Gbit/s was demonstrated using an all-optical SOA-based Mach-Zehnder interferometric wavelength converter, by injecting a pulse data stream into probe signal input instead of continuous wave. It is expected that the AOWC can be utilized for full functionality of Boolean logic due to the nonlinear optical properties
