Implementation of all-optical algebraic and arithmetic operations is fundamental for successful realization of complex all-optical signal processing (AOSP) tasks. Over the past few years, a number of All-optical computing devices such as half-adder, full-adder etc. have evolved based on 2nd (χ(2)) order and 3rd (χ(3)) order non-linear effects. In this paper, design and performance analysis of an all-optical half-subtracter based on cross-gain modulation (XGM) in bulk type semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) capable of operating at 20 Gbps have been performed. A co-propagating structure has been utilized for the design purposes, which nullifies requirement of additional assisting light sources. Extinction ratios (ER) and quality factors (Q-Factor) of order of greater than 9.389 dB and 7.29, respectively have been achieved for half-subtracter outputs. Performance analysis has been performed by varying order and width (τFWHM) of input gaussian data pulse trains. Gaussian return-to-zero (RZ) data pulses of 3rd order and width (τFWHM) = 0.5 have been identified as optimum input pulses..

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
