Abstract Optical bistability in a nonlinear Fabry-Perot etalon can be controlled by several optical beams injected through the edges of the etalon. The control beams, which propagate transversely in the etalon, modify the refractive index, which in turn switches the etalon between its two stable states. The theory of operation of the device is presented, possible logical operations are discussed and experimental results from using an InSb etalon and a CO laser are reported.

Logic operations using a bistable etalon with two control beams

Ralph S. Jameson, Dror Sarid

The theory and demonstration of a novel scheme for performing two-input binary logic operations with a bistable etalon are reported. The scheme employs two edge-injected CO laser beams to control the reflectivity of an InSb etalon. The control beams serve as the inputs to the logic device, while the output is provided by the reflected beam. The application of such a device to two-dimensional array processing is discussed.
