| Research Abstract |
We have aimed at realizing an all-optical signal processor named "microring processor", which can control the optical signal by another optical signal utilizing the cross-modulation phenomena in a microring resonator consisting of semiconductor optical amplifier, and the bi-stable operation utilizing the injection locking into a microring laser. We developed the design and fabrication technologies and realized the Flip-Flop operation and the inverter operation using two adjacent lasing wavelengths in a microring laser.
