Abstract

A novel type of optical bistable circuit has been developed for application in optical communications and sinal processing. The circuit uses both optical and electrical feedback to achieve bistable operation and provides genuine optical gain. The device has advantages in that it can be triggered by optical inputs over a large spectral range and minimises signal feedback to previous circuits. Initial experimental results are presented.
