All-Optical Flip-Flop with Optical Clock Signal Using Mach-Zehnder Interferometer Bistable Laser Diode

We perform and demonstrate synchronous all-optical flip-flop operations with optical clock injection using Mach-Zehnder interferometer bistable laser diode. Saturable absorbers play the key role which allow broadband wavelength tuning of the clock wavelength.
