All-optical Serial Data Transfer between Registers using optical non-linear materials

The inherent parallelism of optical signal is an advantageous feature for high-speed computations and other digital logic operations. Different techniques have been proposed for performing arithmetic, algebraic and logic operations using light as the information-carrier. Here we propose a new method for Serial Data Transfer between Registers using optical non-linear material. This system is all-optical in nature. Optical NAND gate and NOT gate are the basic building blocks of this system.
