Dibit-based OR and NOR gates using reflective semiconductor optical amplifier

In the all-optical domain, the reflective semiconductor optical amplifier (RSOA) creates due attention in the research community because the RSOA has high gain, low-power consumption, high-speed signal processing ability as well as low noise performance. In this work, we have proposed dibit-based OR and NOR gates using RSOA. Dibit-based logic is utilized in this design to get the reduced bit-error problems and high degree of parallelism. To verify the functionality of the aforementioned designs, we have used MATLAB software and also the quality factor (Q), extinction ratio (ER), contrast ratio (CR), and bit-error-rate (BER) have been calculated.
