ALL-OPTICAL CARRY SKIP ADDER WITH THE HELP OF TERAHERTZ OPTICAL ASYMMETRIC DEMULTIPLEXER-BASED SWITCH

Abstract

The terahertz optical asymmetric demultiplexer (TOAD) or semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA)-assisted Sagnac switches have been used to construct an all-optical 4-bit carry skip adder. This design aims to satisfy the high speed and accuracy requirements of modern ultrafast digital transmission. Using a combination of an all-optical multiplexer and an all-optical full adder, we describe an all-optical carry skip adder. When compared to ripple carry adder and carry look-ahead adder, carry skip adder may be employed to create a fast arithmetical processing unit. Numerical simulation is used to develop and validate this theoretical model.
