Improved design of all-optical processor for modular arithmetic

A new improved design of an all-optical processor that performs modular arithmetic is presented. The modulo-processor is based on all-optical circuit of interconnected semiconductor optical amplifier logic gates. The design allows processing times of less than 1 µs for 16-bit operation at 10 Gb/s and up to 32-bit operation at 100 Gb/s.

Design and analysis of an all-optical processor for modular arithmetic

We present a logical design of an all-optical processor that performs modular arithmetic. The overall design is based a set of interconnected modules that use all-optical gates to perform simple logical functions. The all-optical logic gates are based on the semiconductor optical amplifier nonlinear loop. Simulation results are presented and some practical design issues are discussed.

Design of fast core node processor for packet forwarding without header modification in optical networks

We present a design of a fast all-optical core-node processor that performs packet-forwarding in optical networks without header-modification. The design is based on bit-serial architecture using TOADs as logic-gates that perform modulo-arithmetic to forward packets.
