Abstract
We have proposed and experimentally demonstrated the all-optical composite logic gates with XOR, NOR, OR and NAND functions using SOA-MZI structures to make it possible to simultaneously perform various logical functions. The proposed scheme is robust and feasible for high speed all-optical logic operation with high ER.
