Energy Contrast from Cascaded Soliton Logic Gates,
Abstract
We cascade an ultrafast, all-optical soliton dragging logic gate (SDLG)1 with a soliton trapping AND-gate (STAG)2 and measure an energy contrast of approx. 12:1 at the output. SDLG's exhibit fan-out and cascadability; however, the output is in time-shift-keyed formal STAG's are sensitive to the timing of the input pulses and provide an energy contrast at the output. Therefore, STAG's convert the time-shift-keyed signal to an amplitude-shift-keyed output that can be measured with a detector.
