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 …
