An all-optical integrated system for implementing arithmetic operation in 2’s complement method with the active participation of non-linear material based switches

Abstract

Optics is regarded undoubtedly a potential and successful candidate in information and data processing because of its inherent parallelism. In last few decades several all-optical data processors, algebraic processors, arithmetic processors are proposed. Here in this communication the authors propose a completely new scheme for implementing binary data arithmetic in 2´s Complement method which is the most advantageous among all other established subtraction methods. To implement it we use non-linear material massively.

Improvement of extinction in optically-controlled silicon thermo-optic switch based on micro-ring resonator with distinct probe signal

“…[1][2][3] Typically, various types of optical switches use different physical mechanisms to achieve switching between the on and off states. In recent years, studies on electro-optic (EO) switches, [4][5][6][7][8] semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA)-based switches, [9][10][11][12][13][14] magneto-optic (MO) switches, [15][16][17][18] and nonlinear optical (NLO) switches [19][20][21] have already been conducted. Using a microheater to convert heat to light is known as the thermo-optic (TO) effect.…”

All-Optical Wavelength Encoded Nand and Nor Operations Exploiting Semiconductor Optical Amplifier Based Mach-Zehnder Interferometer Wavelength Converter and Phase Conjugation System

“…Researches in the area of optical computing are also engaged to develop several new optoelectronic and all-optical combinational as well as sequential logic processors [3][4][5][6][7][8] with these gates such as optical flip-flops, optical memory units, optical counters etc. Several types of optical logic gates have been proposed and implemented successfully in the past few decades.…”
