An optical signal amplifying three- terminal device (10) for directly amplifying an optical signal by using a control input light. A first input light L1 of a first wavelength lambda1 and a second input light L 2 of a second wavelength lambda2 are inputted into a first optical amplifying element (26). A light of the second wavelength lambda 2 and a third input light (control light) L3 of a third wavelength lambda3 outputted from the first optical amplifying element (26) are inputted into a second optical amplifying element (34). An output light L4 of the third wavelength lambda3 selected from the light outputted from the second optical amplifying element (34) is modulated with the intensity variation of the first input light L1 and/or the third input light L3. Therefore, the output light L4 is an amplified signal amplified with a signal amplification factor of 2 or more with respect to the third input light (control light) L3. Thus, an optical signal is directly amplified by using a control input light. |

An apparatus and method for realizing an all-optical NOR logic device includes a distributed feedback laser diode and a tunable laser diode respectively generating two pump signals of different wavelengths. The apparatus also includes a pulse generator and a Mach-Zehnder modulator modulating the pump signals. The apparatus also includes a delay line adapted to delay a pump signal that has been split from the modulated pump signals and that travels along one optical path, and a polarization controller and an optical attenuator adapted to control another pump signal that has been split from the modulated pump signals and that travels along another optical path, to have the same polarization and intensity as those of the pump signal passing through the delay line. An Er-doped amplifier amplifies the sum of the pump signals so that the amplified pump signal sum saturates a semiconductor optical amplifier. The semiconductor optical amplifier exhibits gain saturation and wavelength conversion characteristics in response to an output signal from the Er-doped fiber amplifier and a probe signal passing therethrough. A plurality of 50:50 fiber couplers are coupled to respective output ends of the laser diodes, the Mach-Zehnder modulator, the attenuator, and the Er-doped fiber amplifier in order to conduct coupling and splitting operations for the pump signals. |

A laser pulse is injected into an optical waveguide loop and then either frequency-shifted to generate a laser beam of a desired frequency, or sent around the loop to cause a desired amount of delay. A laser pulse (LP) is injected by an optical path selector (12) and then made to go around an optical waveguide loop. A frequency shifter (13) generates a frequency-shifted laser beam, and then further shifts the frequency-shifted laser beam by just a prescribed frequency interval each time the beam goes around the loop, thereby generating a laser beam frequency-shifted for a prescribed number of cycles. Also, an optical amplifier (14) amplifies the laser pulse circling the optical waveguide loop. Then, the optical path selector (12) emits the frequency-shifted laser beam to the outside of the optical waveguide loop at a prescribed time corresponding to a prescribed number of cycles. |
