SOA-based all-optical threshold in a counter-propagating topology

We present a novel all-optical threshold circuit, based on SOA’s XGM into two amplifiers in a counter-propagating feedback configuration. Experimentations of the threshold behavior are proposed and preliminary results on its reshaping capability are commented.
