%X Non-linear material based all-optical switching mechanism is utilized here to implement the all-optical parallel subtraction scheme. Optical tree architectures here convert analog optical signal to the corresponding digital one. A two bit all-optical binary parallel subtractor has been proposed and which may be elevated to a higher bit parallel subtractor in course using all-optical half-subtractor and a full-subtractor. These are constructed by a composite slab of linear medium (LM) and non-linear medium (NLM) and it is the building block of our proposed subtructor circuit. These circuits are all-optical and fully parallel in nature. It can also gear up to the highest ability of optical performance in high-speed all-optical computing system.
