Abstract
The all-optical operation of many logic elements (nor, etc.) on a single passive nonlinear Fabry–Perot etalon is discussed. An experiment using dye-filled etalons verifies the prediction and agrees with a computer simulation. This kind of Fabry–Perot gate should be capable of very high speed operation with minimum energy per cycle.Keywords
