All optical comparator using tera hertz optical asymmetric demultiplexer (TOAD).

TOAD or Tera Hertz Optical Asymmetric Demultiplexer is an optical switch. Using this switch, we have invented an optical comparator. This optical comparator circuit is very simple in structure with a higher speed (200 Gbps) and finds useful application in optical computation and communication network system. We have simulated all three outputs in detail and shown the eye diagram of all three outputs of the optical comparator. We found high values of extinction ratio (ER), contrast ratio (CR), and quality factor (Q value) for the three outputs of the comparator. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
