Numerical simulation of a novel all-optical flip-flop based on a chirped nonlinear distributed feedback semiconductor laser structure using GPGPU computing

A novel all-optical flip-flop based on a chirped nonlinear distributed feedback laser structure is proposed. The flip-flop does not require a holding beam. The optical gain is provided by a current injection into an active layer. The nonlinear wave-guiding layer consists of a chirped phase shifted grating accompanied with a negative nonlinear refractive index coefficient that increases in magnitude along the wave-guide. In the ‘OFF’ state, the chirped grating does not provide the required optical feedback to start lasing. An optical pulse switches the device ‘ON’ by reducing the chirp due to the negative nonlinear refractive index coefficient. The reduced chirp grating provides enough feedback to sustain a laser mode. The device is switched ‘OFF’ by cross gain modulation. GPGPU computing allows for long simulation time of multiple SET–RESET operations. The ‘ON/OFF’ transitions delays are in nanoseconds time scale.
