Abstract

One of the most essential building blocks in modern electronics is the flip-flop. A flip-flop operates bi-stably between two states, remaining at a given output level (high or low level) until a specific input control signal changes. For many years, photonics has attempted to build all-optical flip-flops [1-3]; however, the success of these approaches has usually been limited by the dependence of the bi-stable operation on bit-rate and optical power [1,2]. Furthermore, in most of the reported demonstrations, the storage time is inherently short. Typically, the figure-of-merit of these devices is measured by the time-bandwidth product, which is defined as the storage time of the device times the available bandwidth. State-of-the-art values are in the order of 10-100.
