All-optical devices based on three-wave mixing for logic and information processing

EREZ.M. YAHALOMI

A method of creating all-optical devices for logic information processing is presented. The mechanism is based on virtual photon interaction in quantum field description, or dipole moment interaction in classical description. The device consists of two optical information bits channels and one optical bits channel of logic commands like AND, NOT, OR. A variety of logic operations can be achieved on one optical setup by polarization change of the logic bits which determines the logic commands. I present another application for the method as an information channels selector.A method of creating all-optical devices for logic information processing is presented.

Multiple-Valued Logic For Optoelectronics

George Abraham

Recent advances in optical bistability in a variety of materials and devices offer the potential for high speed operation over extended ranges of wavelength and temperature. The advantages of optoelec-tronic devices and multiple-valued logic are combined in various multistable solid-state device techniques, of which negative resistance multistability is most compatible with utilization of bistable optoelec-tronic devices. Additional stable states result from negative resistance interactions and facilitate implementation of variable radix analog and digital applications. Needed characteristics of bistable optical devices are outlined for compatibility with multiple-valued logic implementation. Multiple-valued optical logic offers synergistic potential for improved performance.Recent advances in optical bistability in a variety of materials and devices offer the potential for high speed operation over extended ranges of wavelength and temperature.

Programmable logic devices in experimental quantum optics

John K. Stockton, Michael A. Armen, Hideo Mabuchi

We discuss the unique capabilities of programmable logic devices (PLDs) for experimental quantum optics and describe basic procedures of design and implementation. Examples of advanced applications include optical metrology and feedback control of quantum dynamical systems. As a tutorial illustration of the PLD implementation process, a field-programmable gate array controller is used to stabilize the output of a Fabry-Perot cavity.
