Experimental Study on Wavelength Tunability of All-Optical Flip-Flop Based on Multimode-Interference Bistable Laser Diode

We demonstrate a wavelength-tunable all-optical flip-flop (AOFF) based on a multimode-interference (MMI) bistable laser diode (BLD) with distributed Bragg reflectors (DBRs). The wavelength tuning can be achieved by the band-filling effect and the free-carrier plasma effect with carrier injections to...
