Abstract

CASCADE STRUCTURES Component Reports COMPUTER ARCHITECTURE Computer Hardware ELECTRONIC SWITCHES Electrooptical and Optoelectronic Devices ENERGY FANS FIBERS LOGIC CIRCUITS NETWORKS NOR GATES OPTICAL SWITCHING POLARIZATION RINGS SEMICONDUCTORS SOLITONS TIME DOMAIN Time shift keyers WAVEGUIDES
We demonstrate a cascadable soliton dragging NOR-gate with a switching energy of 5.8pJ, a fan-out of six and a potential speed of 0.2 TBit/sec. This i8 one example of a novel time domain chirp switch architecture in which digital logic i8 based on time shift keying. We also show a hybrid switch consisting of a Semiconductor waveguide followed by a polarization maintaining fiber, and we describe the application of a handful of these ultrafast gates to a 100 Gb/a soliton ring network.
