Abstract-We demonstrate flip-flop operation using the directional bistability in ultra-small microdisks (7.5 µ µ µ µm diameter) heterogeneously bonded on a silicon chip. The pulse energies are only 1.8 fJ and the bias current is 3.5 mA.
We describe an optical network-on-chip built from passive wavelength routing circuits and tunable micro transmitters based on microdisk sources. Operation of the different subcomponents will be demonstrated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
