Design of optical logical multiplexer using SOA

Abstract

This paper shows implementation of the logical multiplexer with the optical component. In optical communication the devices involved shows the behaviour of nonlinearity that causes the phenomenon’s like Four wave mixing and also Cross gain modulation. These non linearity behaviours are very useful for forming the concept the optical logic multiplexer. This occurs due to variation in reflective index and gain. The optical logical multiplexer that we had designed in our module performs the logic operation like electrical multiplexer with the use of optical component. Input feed as well as terminal of output are in the form of optical.. Switching and operating several electronic devices under the same optical remote can be brought into the existence using the concept involved in our design module and that is implementing of optical multiplexer. Controlling of different electronic devices which are associated with their different functioning frequency can be executed with our design module. This optical logical multiplexer will play an essential role in the part of communication system like network and switch.
