All optical 3-input majority gate based on four wave mixing in semiconductor optical amplifier

By using four wave mixing, the nonlinear characteristics of semiconductor optical amplifier, an all optical 3-input majority gate, with a single semiconductor optical amplifier, has been suggested and demonstrated. The simulation of this gate is performed with optisystem software and 10 Gbps maximum operation is reported.
