Column Address Selection in Optical RAMs With Positive and Negative Logic Row Access

Column Address Selection in Optical RAMs With Positive and Negative Logic Row Access

An optical RAM row access gate followed by a column address selector for wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM)-formatted words employing a single semiconductor optical amplifier-Mach-Zehnder interferometer (SOA-MZI) is presented. RAM row access is performed by the SOA-MZI that grants random access...
