| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To realize all-optical binary logic device suitable for cascade integration based on adjacent lasing wavelengths of multiple-quantum-well (MQW) semiconductor microring lasers (SMRLs), we investigated the unidirectional selective lasing condition and found that the phase of feedback light from a reflection facet affects the power ratio of clockwise to counterclockwise lasing. Using this knowledge, we designed a unidirectional microring laser.
Next, we demonstrated that all-optical flip-flop and inverter operations using two adjacent lasing wavelengths can be realized in the identical semiconductor microring laser and the operations are switchable periodically with the phase of feedback light from a reflection facet. Lasing conditions for the switching of operations are investigated experimentally and compared with a theoretical model.
