  • Abstract
    All-optical flip-flop operation using a SOA and DFB laser diode in an optical feedback scheme is presented. The device is based on the gain difference in the SOA and DFB laser diode for the different stable states. Flip-flop operation is shown for set and reset pulse widths of 10 and 150 ps of 5 W and 3.5 mW respectively.
