TL;DR: In this paper, a complete analytical model of the polarization characteristics of a semiconductor laser amplifier in a loop mirror (SLALOM) is presented, and various kinds of output for all-optical conversion of NRZ to pseudo-return-to-zero (PRZ) signals, based on a simple SLALOM scheme, are analyzed theoretically.

TL;DR: In this paper, the basis vectors of polarization are mapped to two frequencies by thermally-tuned phase shifters, and the SOPs are retrieved from the frequency domain, which is compatible with CMOS fabrication process, making it possible to be integrated with other silicon-based devices monolithically.

TL;DR: A generation approach of photonic logic minterms and maxterms, which is fully reconfigured mintermsand maxterms for four-input 40-Gb/s differential phase-shift keying (DPSK) signals, has been demonstrated based on delay interferometers and semiconductor optical amplifiers.

TL;DR: In this article, a two-dimensional grating with loose constraints is proposed to split the x and y polarization components of incident light to four separate branches, then recombined into four new channels to get different polarization information.

TL;DR: In this paper , a photonic emulator that uses light propagation instead of electromagnetic simulation is proposed to enable high-precision reconfiguration of the design target on the basis of precise tuning of the effective refractive index near the pixels in the design area and fast feedback of the optical response.
