Abstract

In this work, we implement 4-input all-optical NOR and AND logic gate at the data rate of 10 Gbps by exploiting FWM interaction dispersion compensated fiber. In this, we place two dispersion compensated fibers in a Mach-Zehnder interferometric configuration. The system output is investigated in terms of quality factor (Q-Factor), bit error rate (BER) and extinction ratio and finally achieve an extinction ratio of 30 dB.

Keywords
