OPTICAL PARALLEL HALF ADDER USING SEMICONDUCTOR OPTICAL AMPLIFIER-ASSISTED SAGNAC GATES

Abstract

Today communication needs huge operational speed. This will be accomplished in case the conventional carrier of data, i.e. electron is supplanted by a photon for gadgets based on switching and logic. Gates are the basic building pieces of advanced frameworks. Different logic and arithmetic operations can be done using this gate. Optical logic and arithmetic operations are exceptionally much anticipated in high-speed communication frameworks. In this paper, we have presented parallel models to perform the addition of two binary digits based on terahertz optical asymmetric demultiplexer (TOAD)/semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA)-assisted Sagnac gates. Using only two TOAD-based switches we have designed a parallel half adder. This optical circuit increases the speed of calculation and is also capable of synthesizing light as an input to form the output. The most advantage of this parallel circuit is that no synchronization is required for distinctive inputs. The circuit is hypothetically planned and confirmed by numerical simulations.
