“…Exploiting non-linear effects in SOAs and MZI-SOAs has enabled the demonstration of integrated optical buffers, making GHz flip-flop operation possible [101]. The MZI-SOA has become an important element to performs a variety of optical logic functions and provides high Extinction Ratio (ER), requires low switching energies to operate and have regenerative capability and compactness [8,[102][103][104]. An optical logic Exclusive OR (XOR) gate, based on a hybrid integrated MZI-SOA, served has the starting point for the modulation format conversion scheme proposed in Chapter 5.…”

“…OMRR based optical switch is a suitable choice to develop various sequential and combinational circuits. Available literature provides different techniques to implement all-optical J-K flip flop [14,15], D flip flop [16][17][18][19][20][21][22] and S-R flip-flop with ring resonators [23]. In the present work, an attempt is made to the implementation of D-flip flop and two-bit all-optical down-counter using GaAs-AlGaAs based OMRR.…”

“…Flip-flop memory is one kind of the most interesting memory types. However, it is still a great challenge to realize ultra-fast flip-flop operation with the switching time on the picosecond time scale for GHz data memory [3]. Two SOA-based ON/OFF switches and two coupled semiconductor optical amplifier-Mach Zender interferometer (SOA-MZI) gates forming an optical flip-flop have demonstrated an optical random access memory (RAM) cell [4].…”
