Error-free all-optical packet switching is demonstrated at 160 Gb/s. The system employs a highly scalable in-band optical labelling, filter-based label extraction, a hybrid-integrated optical flip-flop, and a single SOA-based wavelength converter.

We demonstrate an error-free 160 Gb/s SOA-based optical wavelength converter. This optical wavelength converter can be controlled by a monolithically integrated optical flip-flop memory to switch 80 Gb/s data-packets alloptically. The optical wavelength converter consists of an SOA and an optical filter. Assisting by an optical bandpass filter, an effectively recovery time of 3 ps is achieved i...

Since there is an increasing demand for fast networks and switches, the electronic data processing imposes a severe bottleneck and all-optical processing techniques will be required in the future. All-optical flip-flops are one of the key components because they can act as temporary memory elements. Several designs have already been demonstrated but they are often relatively slow or complex to ...

Operation of a novel wavelength selective electro-optic flip-flop is demonstrated. The flip-flop consists of an anti-reflection coated two-section semiconductor laser diode with optical feedback from two fiber Bragg gratings. Electrical set and reset signals cause the lasing output to toggle between two distinct lasing wavelengths with a mode suppression ratio of greater than -35 dBm.

The timing elements and clock interconnection Networks such as flip-flops and latches, is One of the most power consuming components in modern very large Scale integration (VLSI) system. The area, power and transistor count will compared and designed using several latches and flip flop stages. Flip Flop is a circuit which is used to store state information. Power consumption is one of the main ...

This paper provides the initial threshold to building of more complex system having reversible sequential circuits as a primitive component and which can execute more complicated operations using quantum computers. The reversible circuits form the basic building block of quantum computers as all quantum operations are reversible. The important reversible gates used for reversible logic synthesi...
