Abstract

Optical bistability was successfully demonstrated in a GaInAsP waveguide with a distributed feedback structure. Further study toward improving the on-off ratio (high to low output level) is now under way.

We demonstrated all-optical transistor operation based on the bistability principle in nonlinear distributed feedback GaInAsP-InP waveguide. By increasing the pump power above a certain limit, the probe transmission that operates in the bistable regime can turn from switching to transistor mode. The unstable state is shown to play a crucial role in distinguishing the probe transmission artifacts between switching and transistor mode.

All-optical flip-flop operations in a coupled element bistable device

Kenju Otsuka

An optical bistable device composed of coupled nonlinear elements is proposed. This device features optical bistability without hysteresis. It is shown theoretically that a set-reset type (S-R) flip-flop operation can be easily achieved on an all-optical basis by utilising nonhysteretic bistable characteristics.
