Abstract

In the field of optical interconnecting network the tree architecture has already taken the significant roles. Nonlinear optics has drawn a great interest in all-optical signal processing for its high speed photonic activity. Optical nonlinear materials (ONLM) may provide a major support to optical switching-based all-optical logic and algebraic operations. Here operational speed is extremely high (far above GHz). In this paper, an ONLM-based switching system is extensively used to design tree architecture for developing some arithmetic operational system in an all-optical domain. An alternative scheme of all-optical addition and subtraction and comparison of binary data is also proposed exploiting the above optical tree.
