81 ALL OPTICAL LOGIC USING CROSS-PHASE MODULATION AMPLIFIERS AND MACH-ZEHNDER INTERFEROMETERS WITH PHASE-SHIFT DEVICES US09682283 2001-08-14 US20030002797A1 2003-01-02 Tzu-Yih Chu; Shyang Chang; Chi Au; Abraham C. Ma
Optical logic gates are constructed from Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) optical circuits. A multi-mode interference (MMI) splitter divides a continuous-wave input into two branches of the interferometer. Each branch has a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA). When a logic input having a logic-high power level is applied to one of the SOA's, cross-phase modulation occurs in the SOA. The phase shift increases through the SOA. The branch coupled to the logic input has a relative phase shift of null compared with the other branch. When two branches with the null phase difference are combined, destructive interference occurs, producing a logic low. An MMI combiner or an equivalent phase shifter is used to combine the two branches. The MMI splitter adds a phase shift of null/2 to the upper branch but not to the lower branch, while the MMI combiner also adds null/2 shifts.
82 Generation of optical signals with return-to-zero format US09971831 2001-10-04 US20020196508A1 2002-12-26 Haiqing Wei; Aly F. Elrefaie; Xin Xue; Shih-Yuan Wang
An optical return-to-zero (RZ) signal generator and related methods are described in which a phase modulator causes a phase change in an optical signal responsive to a transition in a driving signal, and in which an interferometer receives the optical signal from the phase modulator and generates an optical pulse responsive to that phase change. Preferably, the interferometer introduces a fixed, unmodulated time delay between its two signal paths, the fixed time delay being selected such that destructive interference occurs at an output of the interferometer when the phase of the optical signal received from the phase modulator remains constant. However, when a rising or falling edge of the driving signal causes phases changes in the optical signal, the destructive interference at the output of the interferometer is disturbed, and an optical pulse is generated. The driving signal is a differentially encoded version of an input information signal. Alternatively, the driving signal is proportional to the input information signal and the transmitted RZ-formatted optical signal is a differentially encoded version of that signal. Features for regulating the fixed time delay, features for frequency shift compensation, features for loss compensation/equalization, and integrated single-chip and multiple-chip embodiments are also described.
83 Optical detection and logic devices with latching function US869901 1997-06-05 US5999284A 1999-12-07 Kim Byron Roberts
An optical logic device is provided by an interferometer in which an output optical signal is determined in accordance with an interference condition of the interferometer. The interference condition is reset by an optical setting signal which is counter-propagated through a semi-conductor optical amplifier forming one arm of the interferometer. Latching of the interference condition in the set state is achieved by a feedback signal taken from the output optical signal and combined with the setting signal. Resetting of the interference condition is achieved by nulling the output optical signal by counter-propagating a reset optical signal via second semiconductor optical amplifier constituting the second arm of the interferometer. Alternatively the input optical signal to the interferometer may be interrupted to null the output. A further alternative arrangement utilizes an electrical re-setting signal which actuates an electrical phase shifting device in the second arm of the interferometer. The device has particular application to all optical control of high bit rate communication signals.

PURPOSE: An apparatus for realizing an electric light OR logic element using a semiconductor optical amplifier is provided to realize the electric light OR logic element by using gain saturation and wavelength conversions characteristics. CONSTITUTION: A pulse generator(100) generates light pulses. An MLFL(Mode Locked Fiber Laser)(102) generates input signal patterns A and B of an electric light OR logic element from the pulse generator. A first FC(Fiber Combiner)(106) divides output light of the MLFL at a ratio of 50 to 50 through an optical isolator(104). A first optical delay obtains time delay of the output light from the first FC through a variable delay(108) and an SMF(Single-Mode Fiber)(110). A first optical controller controls the strength and polarization of the output light of the first FC through an attenuator(112) and a polarization controller(114). A second FC(116) combines the output light of the first optical delay and the first optical controller for generating the input signal pattern A. A third FC(118) divides the output light of the second FC at a ratio of 10 to 90. A second optical delay obtains time delay of the output light from the second FC through a variable delay(120) and an SMF(122). A fourth FC(124) detects the input signal pattern B generated from the second optical delay. A second optical controller controls the strength and polarization of the output light of the third FC through an attenuator(126) and a polarization controller(128). A fifth FC(130) combines the input signal patterns A and B for generating an input signal pattern A+B. An optical detecting and measuring element detects and measures the input signal pattern A+B.

An optical transmitter includes: a set of reflective silicon optical amplifiers (RSOAs), a set of ring modulators, a shared broadband reflector, a set of intermediate waveguides, and a shared waveguide. Each intermediate waveguide channels light from an RSOA in proximity to an associated ring modulator to cause optically coupled light to circulate in the associated ring modulator. The shared waveguide is coupled to the shared broadband reflector, and passes in proximity to the set of ring modulators, so that light circulating in each ring modulator causes optically coupled light to flow in the shared optical waveguide. During operation, each RSOA forms a lasing cavity with the shared broadband reflector, wherein each lasing cavity has a different wavelength, which is determined by a resonance of the associated ring modulator. The different wavelengths are combined in the shared waveguide to produce a combined output.
