Abstract

A new scheme for all optical XOR and NOTXOR based on UNI (Ultrafast Nonlinear Interferometer) technique is demonstrated on a 10 GBps data pattern. As a difference between our schema with the old UNI structure, we employ a counter-propagation geometry that avoided the use of a filter and wavelength converter for the elimination of the control signal at the output of the system. Likewise in this scheme only one polarization maintaining fiber (PMF) is used.
