Abstract
Recent development of a symmetric Mach-Zehnder type, ultra-small and ultra-fast all-optical switch (PC-SMZ) composed of GaAs-based two-dimensional photonic crystal (2DPC) waveguides and InAs-quantum dots (QDs) has resulted in a new proposal of a PC-based optical flip-flop switch (PC-FF). Nano-photonic technologies involving state-of-the-art PC-SMZ and new problems for the PC-FF are reviewed.
