Abstract

The performance of an all-optical OR gate using a dual pump–probe semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA)-assisted Mach–Zehnder interferometer (MZI) is investigated and demonstrated through numerical simulations at a data rate of 80 Gb/s. The proposed scheme enables to obtain a higher quality factor and smaller pattern dependence for a more feasible choice of critical operating parameters than when using for the same purpose the SOA–delayed interferometer.
