Abstract
A novel smart optoelectronic NOT gate has been proposed. It takes advantage of the linear device operation and the easy-to-implement logic function as compared to conventional optoelectronic logic gates. Detailed investigatio ns of the configuration of the NOT gate, optoelectronic converters, and num erical analysis have been considered. (C) 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
