Abstract

I propose and demonstrate a novel and simple optical exclusive OR circuit for binary signals, which is composed of a balanced photo-detector and a Mach-Zehnder intensity modulator. Two input optical signals into the photo-detector produce an electrical signal to drive the modulator. The modulator outputs an optical exclusive OR signal of the two input optical signals. I report the configuration, operating principle, and primary experimental results using 10 Gbit/s binary signals to demonstrate that the exclusive OR circuit operates properly. The proposed simple circuit is suitable for the future hybrid integration of photonics and electronics.
