  • Monolithic NOR and INVERTER active optical logic devices inte- grated with surface-emitting microlasers, heterojunction photo- transistors(HPT) in parallel and resistors in series are characterized. The differential quantum efficiency of the typical AlGaAs superlattice microlaser integrated in the active optical logic devices is 15%. Current gain of the HPT is 57, when emitter-collector voltage and input optical power are 4 V and $50{\mu}W$, respectively. $57{\mu}W$ of output power from the active optical logic device decreases to zero when $47{\mu}W$ of input optical power is incident on the HPT part of the active logic device.

  • All-optical OR logic gate is realized by use of gain saturation and wavelength conversion in the semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOA). It is operated by the nonlinearity of the SOA gain and hence to obtain the sufficient gain saturation of the SOA, pump signals are amplified by an Er-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) at the input of the SOA. The operation characteristics of all-optical OR logic gate are successfully measured at 2.5 Gbit/s.

  • In this paper, the scheme of a single module for simultaneous operation of all-optical computing circuits, namely half adder and half subtractor, are realized using semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) based logic gates. Optical XOR gate by employing a SOA based Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) configuration is used to get the sum and difference outputs. A carry signal is generated using a SOA-four wave mixing (FWM) based AND gate, whereas, the borrow is generated by employing the SOA-cross gain modulation (XGM) effect. The obtained results confirm the feasibility of our configuration by proving the good level of quality factor i.e. ~5.5, 9.95 and 12.51 for sum/difference, carry and borrow, respectively at 0 dBm of input power.

  • Latching optical switches and optical logic gates AND and OR are demonstrated, for the first time, by the monolithic integration of a vertical cavity lasers with depleted optical thyristor structure, which have not only a low threshold current with 0.65mA, but also a high on/off contrast ratio more than 50dB. By simple operating technique with changing a reference switching voltage, this single device operates as two logic functions, optical logic AND and OR. The thyristor laser fabricated using the oxidation process achieved a high optical output power efficiency and a high sensitivity to the optical input light.

  • Latching optical switches and optical logic gates with AND or OR, and the INVERT functionality are demonstrated, for the first time, by the monolithic integration of a differential typed vertical cavity laser with depleted optical thyristor (VCL-DOT) structure with a low threshold current of 0.65 mA, a high slope efficiency of 0.38 mW/mA, and high sensitivity to input optical light. Many kinds of logic functions (AND, OR, NAND, NOR, and INVERT) are experimentally demonstrated using a differential switching operation scheme changing the intensity of a reference input beam without any changes of electrical circuits.

  • Structures, fabrication, and characteristics of top-surface-emitting GaAs four quantum well microlaser are described. The microlasers have good room-temperautre CW characteristivs. The maximum CW laser output is >3mW from a 30 $\mu\textrm{m}$ diameter microlaser and the maximum differential quantum efficiency is >70% from a 10 $\mu\textrm{m}$ diameter microlaser. Active surface emitting laser logic devices are designed and fabricated as a discrete version of a top-surface-emitting laser and heterojunction phototransistor. The active surface emitting laser logic device have high optical gain (>20 overall, >200 differential) and very high on/off ratio. Two-dimensional arrays of top-surface-emitting microlasers and active surface emitting laser logic devices will be critical elements for optical computing, photonic switching and neural network applications.
