Optical logic gates using interconnected photodiodes and electro-absorption modulators

Skogen, Erik J.; Vawter, Gregory A.; Tauke-Pedretti, Anna; Overberg, Mark E.; Peake, Gregory M.; Alford, Charles; Torres, David; Cajas, Florante; Sullivan, Charles T.

We demonstrate an optical gate architecture with optical isolation between input and output using interconnected PD-EAMs to perform AND and NOT functions. Waveforms for 10 Gbps AND and 40 Gbps NOT gates are shown. © 2010 Optical Society of America.
