Abstract

In this paper, we demonstrate experimentally the fulfillment of al-optical AND and NAND gates using the cross- polarization modulator effect in a semiconductor optical amplifier. The efficiency of this effect was estimated by measuring the conversion coefficients indicating the TE to TM mode conversion and vice versa when the amplifier is perturbed with a wavelength tunable control beam.
