Abstract:

Three XOR photonics logic gate configurations namely semiconductor optical amplifier-Mach Zender interferometer cross phase modulation (SOA-MZI XPM), SOA-MZI cross gain modulation (XGM) and terahertz optical asymmetrical demultiplexer (TOAD) XOR are analysed and compared in terms of generated power, optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) values and bit error rate (BER) signal quality. The highest generated power is possessed by the TOAD at 23.5 dBm, the SOA-MZI XPM showed the most extinction ratio or OSNR with 109.6 dB whereas the best BER is recorded in the SOA-MZI XGM at 4.42 x 10-22.
