It has become an imperative reality to find an alternative for the conventional bulk semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA), which suffers from the slow dynamic response, in light of the increased need for higher speeds. In this research, the carrier reservoir SOA (CR-SOA) is employed as a suitable alternative to investigate the all-optical AND logic gate for the first time at an operating speed of 100 Gb / s. For the reliability of the results, the CR-SOAs- and the conventional SOAs-based Mach–Zehnder interferometer are compared in the same operating conditions that include the effects of the amplified spontaneous emission noise and the operating temperature to obtain more realistic simulation results. The results of Wolfram Mathematica proved that the considered Boolean function is executed at 100 Gb / s with a higher quality factor when using CR-SOAs compared to SOAs, i.e., 14 versus 4.7.

基于超快载流子存储半导体光放大器的全光与逻辑门

找到传统的体半导体光放大器（SOA）的替代品已成为当务之急，鉴于对更高速度的需求不断增加，该替代品具有缓慢的动态响应。在这项研究中，载波存储库SOA（CR-SOA）被用作以100 Gb / s的工作速度首次研究全光AND逻辑门的合适选择。为了保证结果的可靠性，在相同的工作条件下比较了CR-SOAs和传统的基于SOA的Mach-Zehnder干涉仪，这些条件包括放大的自发发射噪声和工作温度的影响，以获得更真实的仿真结果。
