A method of developing wavelength encoded all-optical S–R flip-flop by the uses of semiconductor optical amplifier based Mach–Zenhder interferometer and phase conjugation system

Abstract A scheme for a high-speed wavelength encoded all-optical S–R flip-flop (or a digital memory cell for storing of optical bits) based on wavelength conversion (MZI) in semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) and phase conjugation system (PCS) is proposed. The switching action of semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) does not give too high operational speed because of electrical pumping power. But optical phase conjugation mechanism gives us ultrahigh operational speed. So, joint use of them gives rise to a more high speed system comparatively to only SOA based switches. Here two logic states of the whole system is encoded by two wavelengths as well as frequencies, since the information in the bit is unaffected throughout the communication not having regard to the loss of light energy due to reflection, refraction polarization, etc.
