1 Optics The All-Optical Threshold Device Stephen Brandes, NASA Apprentice Dr. Roger Dorsinville, Mentor Muhammad Ali Ummy, Graduate Student The City College of New York

2 All-Optical Threshold Device A device that can discriminate between two intensity levels is a Threshold Device Loop mirror contains SOA, attenuator, and 50:50 coupler Phase change occurs in clockwise beam during transmission in 50:50 coupler Destructive or constructive interference at the ports To set a threshold value, attenuator is set to constant value while SOA is varied

3 Experimental Setup

4 Graphical Results

5 Experimentation and Results SOA set to three different gain levels VOA varied periodically to change input intensity Threshold values of all-optical threshold device were inversely proportional to the value of the SOA In future, threshold device can be used for optical computing Faster More efficient
