Abstract :
Techniques for optically controlling the latching capabilities of the light amplifying optical switch (LAOS) are described. It is shown that the latching can be controlled by reducing either the voltage or the current of the latching element. The operation and design of functional blocks that implement set/reset flip flops, gated latches, and inverting logic are discussed
