本文报道了采用Sagnac干涉仪和第二个半导体光放大器作为非线性开关元件的10 Gb/S逆变器全光循环移位寄存器的工作。二进制脉冲图案被稳定地循环存储在存储电路中几个小时的周期中。这个简单的光环路存储器的演示也证明了SOA辅助的Sagnac交换机的级联能力。
Summary We report the operation of an all-optical recirculating shift register with an inverter at 10 Gb/s using a Sagnac interferometer with a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) as the nonlinear switching element and a second SOA to provide feedback. Binary pulse patterns were stored in the memory circuit recirculating stably for periods of several hours. The demonstration of this simple optical loop memory proves also the cascadability of the SOA-assisted Sagnac switch.
