Abstract :
This work presents all optical reversible implementation of sequential counters using semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) based Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) switches. All the designs are implemented using minimum number of MZI switches and garbage outputs. This design ensures improved optical costs in reversible realization of all the counter circuits. The theoretical model is simulated to verify the functionality of the circuits. Design complexity of all the proposed memory elements has been analyzed.
