Abstract

A scheme for an ultra-high speed all-optical D flip-flop based on single quantum-dot semiconductor optical amplifier (QD-SOA) assisted Mach–Zehnder interferometer (MZI) is proposed and its performance is theoretically investigated. The architecture of the all-optical circuit comprises of a properly driven and configured single QD-SOA-MZI with an external feedback loop. The impact of the input data pulse width as well as of the QD-SOAs length on the extinction ratio, contrast ratio, Q factor, relative opening of the pseudo-eye diagram and amplitude modulation of the switching outcome is explored and assessed by means of numerical simulations. The obtained results confirm the feasibility of the devised flip-flop scheme at a much higher data rate than that enabled by the conventional SOA-assisted MZI, with acceptable performance metrics.
