ABSTRACT:
Logic function generator using an optical transposition in a distributed feedback laser diode. It comprises sources (LD1, LD2) of synchronous digital optical signals having the same rate, an optical coupler (10) receiving said signals and supplying an optical signal, a distributed feedback laser diode (LD3) into which is injected said optical signal, means (24) for the electrical polarization of said laser diode enabling the latter to supply a signal, whose optical frequency varies as a function of the optical power of the injected signal, an optical filter (12) which receives said signal and which is frequency tunable and control means (28) for the said filter. The latter supplies a signal which is a logic function of the signals of the sources. Application to optical calculation.
