In this paper a novel and simple structure of a high speed optical logic gate based on bulk
semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) is presented. The gain dynamic and phase response
of bulk SOA using rate equations including the dynamics of carrier heating (CH) and spectral-
hole burning (SHB) is investigated numerically. The operation of NOR gate is analyzed by
using the presented numerical method, and a NOR gate that can operate up to 1 Tbps is
designed. By using the proposed structure, high speed logic gates based on bulk SOA can …
