A. L. Lentine, D. A. B. Miller, J. E. Henry, J. E. Cunningham, L. M. F. Chirovsky, L. A. D'Asaro, "Optical logic using electrically connected quantum well PIN diode modulators and detectors" Applied Optics, 29, 2153-2163, (1990).

The authors present new optoelectronic logic devices or circuits consisting of electrically connected quantum well PIN diodes capable of implementing any boolean logic function. One class of circuits uses single beams to represent the logic levels and compares their intensities to a locally generated reference signal. A second class of circuits routes signals as differential pairs. The connections of diodes in these circuits resemble the transistor connections in NMOS and CMOS logic families. They demonstrate simple optical programmable logic arrays (e.g., E=AB+CD) using both of these classes of circuits
