Simultaneous generation of AND and OR gates by dark–bright soliton conversion

In this article, a novel system of simultaneous optical logic AND and OR gates using dark–bright soliton conversion within the add/drop optical filter system is proposed. The input logic “0” and control logic “0” are formed by using the dark soliton pulse (D) trains. We found that the simultaneous optical logic AND and OR gates at the drop and through ports can be formed, respectively. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
