From the last few decades the optical communication has been established as much easier process than electrical communication. Many optical proposed circuits have already been suggested in many fields in support of this. The optical communication circuits demand frequency dividers capable of operating well above 10 GHz. Here, an all-optical frequency divider using terahertz optical asymmetric demultiplexer (TOAD) based D-flip-flop is proposed in the optical domain in a configuration exactly like the standard electronic setup. It presents a high-speed flip-flop-based frequency divider incorporating a new high-speed latch topology with satisfactory performance. The proposed all-optical frequency division scheme has been theoretically demonstrated in this paper. In this scheme the input and output binary digits are expressed as the presence (1) and the absence (0) of the light pulses. The performance of this proposed optical realization is evaluated by numerical simulation that confirms its feasibility in terms of the choice of the critical parameters.

Abstract Implementation of switching activity in the all-optical domain is one of the most important aspects in the field of modern high-speed and secured communication technology. Micro-ring Resonator (MRR) based switching activity can be used to implement all-optical active low tri-state buffer logic and clocked D flip-flop. The paper describes the switching activity of micro-ring resonator structures and the switching activity is further used to implement the effective all-optical 4 - bit memory register using the appropriate arrangement of all-optical tri-state buffers and clocked D flip-flops with the functionality of RD and WR. The complete description of layouts and switching mechanisms of all-optical 4-bit memory registers have been explained and appropriate MATLAB simulation results are presented to observe the suitability of the proposed unit. The analysis shows that implementation of tri-state buffer logic and D flip-flop assisted 4-bit memory register in the all-optical domain includes the considerable advantages of optical communication e.g. immunity to electromagnetic interference, parallel computing, compactness, signal security, etc. The manuscript describes the detailed analysis of performance parameters e. g. extinction ratio, contrast ratio, amplitude modulation, on-off ratio, and switching speed of micro-ring resonator structures to achieve an efficient selection of device parameters and finally describes an efficient technique to implement all-optical MRR based 1 x 4 memory registers.

Abstract This paper introduces a design of a high-speed programmable multi-modulus divider (MMD) based on 65nm CMOS process. The design adopts the cascade structure of 7 level 2/3 frequency dividers, and expands the frequency division range by adjusting the number of cascade stages, so as to achieve a continuous frequency division ratio of 16 to 255. Among them, the first level 2/3 frequency divider adopts the D flip-flop design of CML (current mode logic) structure, the second level 2/3 frequency divider adopts the D flip-flop design of E-TSPC (extended true-single-phase-clock) structure. The whole circuit realizes the working frequency range of 13∼18GHz high frequency and large bandwidth. This design has completed layout drawing and parasitic parameter extraction simulation. The simulation results show that the operating frequency range of the circuit can reach 13∼18GHz. When the input signal is 18GHz and the frequency division ratio is 255, the phase noise is about -135dBc/Hz@1kHz. It has the advantages of high frequency, large bandwidth, and low phase noise.

Generation of fast light pulses through a nonlinear microring system is an attractive research challenge for high speed optical and quantum computer, optical communication networks and secured communication. In this paper generation of fast light through GaAlAs/GaAs waveguides with fabricated Micro Ring Resonator is reported. Using multistage system, the attosecond pulse can be generated. Simulation results obtained have shown that the generation of a very narrow full-width at half maximum (FWHM) line width and sharp tip is achieved. We propose a new system of multistage micro ring resonators consist of four rings for optical communication system. Here, pulse width of 15 attosecond can be obtained, using proper parameters of the proposed system.

Frequency dividers are used in frequency synthesizers to generate specific frequencies or clock (CK) waveforms. As consequences of their operating principles, frequency dividers often produce output waveforms that exhibit duty cycles other than 50%. However, some circuits and systems, including dynamic memory systems and data converters, which accommodate frequency divider outputs, may need symmetric or 50%-duty-cycle clock waveforms to optimize timing margins or to obtain sufficient timing reliability. In this review paper, design principles and methods are studied to produce symmetric waveforms for the in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) outputs of high-speed CMOS frequency dividers with design considerations from the logic gate level down to the transistor level in terms of speed, reliability, noise, and latency. A compact and robust multi-gigahertz frequency divider with moduli 12, 14, and 16 to provide I and Q outputs with 50% duty cycle is proposed and designed using a 90-nm digital CMOS process technology with 1.2-V supply.

A high-speed programmable frequency divider for a Ka-band phase-locked loop (PLL)-type frequency synthesizer system is presented and fabricated in 90 nm CMOS technology. It consists mainly of a divided-by-8/9 dual-modulus prescaler (DMP) and pulse swallow counters. An active-inductor-based source-coupled logic (SCL) D flip-flop (DFF) and the “OR” gate are used in the DMP in order to promote its locking range and operation frequency. The measured operation frequency range of the improved programmable frequency divider covers from 6 to 20 GHz with a low phase noise of less than −136 dBc/Hz at a 1 MHz offset of output signals, an optimum sensitivity of −27 dBm at 15 GHz, and a low power consumption of 9.1 mW.

This paper presents a 40 GHz voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) and frequency divider chain fabricated in STMicroelectronics 28 nm ultrathin body and box (UTBB) fully depleted silicon-on-insulator (FD-SOI) complementary metal-oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) process with eight metal layers back-end-of-line (BEOL) option. VCOs architecture is based on an LC-tank with p-type metal-oxide–semiconductor (PMOS) cross-coupled transistors. VCOs exhibit a tuning range (TR) of 3.5 GHz by exploiting two continuous frequency tuning bands selectable via a single control bit. The measured phase noise (PN) at 38 GHz carrier frequency is −94.3 and −118 dBc/Hz at 1 and 10 MHz frequency offset, respectively. The high-frequency dividers, from 40 to 5 GHz, are made using three static CMOS current-mode logic (CML) Master-Slave D-type Flip-Flop stages. The whole divider factor is 2048. A CMOS toggle flip-flop architecture working at 5 GHz was adopted for low frequency dividers. The power dissipation of the VCO core and frequency divider chain are 18 and 27.8 mW from 1.8 and 1 V supply voltages, respectively. Circuit functionality and performance were proved at three junction temperatures (i.e., −40, 25, and 125 °C) using a thermal chamber.

Abstract The construction of an all-optical frequency-encoded Toffoli gate employing a reflecting semiconductor optical amplifier (RSOA) is proposed in this article. By establishing fields such as quantum computing, optical quantum computing, quantum-dot cellular automata, and superconducting flux logic family, quantum gates have been proved to perform reliably in the present day. A nonzero-mass electron, on the other hand, moves far slower than a quantum particle with zero rest mass, such as a photon. Photons can also be utilized to store data while being sent. These photon qualities have motivated researchers to create quantum gates in the all-optical domain based on them. The RSOA-based implementation of the Toffoli gate gives a significant improvement in the case of high speed, low power, and fast switching time. MATLAB Simulink (R2018a) software is used to simulate the devised design. The theoretical prediction is satisfied by the simulation results.
