Nonlinear Material Based All-Optical Parallel Subtraction Scheme: an Implementation

Abstract

Non-linear material based all-optical switching mechanism is utilized here to implement the all-optical parallel subtraction scheme. Optical tree architectures here convert analog optical signal to the corresponding digital one. A two bit all-optical binary parallel subtractor has been proposed and which may be elevated to a higher bit parallel subtractor in course using all-optical half-subtractor and a full-subtractor. These are constructed by a composite slab of linear medium (LM) and non-linear medium (NLM) and it is the building block of our proposed subtructor circuit. These circuits are all-optical and fully parallel in nature. It can also gear up to the highest ability of optical performance in high-speed all-optical computing system.

Temporal, spectral, and polarization dependence of the nonlinear optical response of carbon disulfide

“…It has been subject to many experimental studies utilizing time-resolved techniques such as optical Kerr effect (OKE) [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8], degenerate four-wave mixing (DFWM) [9,10], and nonlinear interferometry [11], as well as frequency domain light scattering [12][13][14], third-harmonic generation [15], and Z-scan [16][17][18][19][20][21]. It is found in a wide array of NLO applications, including liquid-core optical fibers for nonlinear photonics applications [22,23], soliton propagation [24,25], supercontinuum generation [26], slow light [27], ultrafast time-resolved imaging [28], and all-optical switching [29]. In addition, it is commonly used as a reference material for nonlinear spectroscopy [15,30,31].…”
