  • Abstract
    Bit error rate measurements on a new optical AND gate using four-wave mixing in a semiconductor laser amplifier and operating on degenerate wavelength input signals are presented. Operation on two 10 Gbit/s data streams with BER <10-10 shows the potential for using the device in high bit rate optical networks
