Abstract

We investigate the operation of directionally bistable semiconductor-ring lasers as all-optical flip-flops. We demonstrate fast switching between the two lasing directions by injection of optical pulses acting as set and reset control signals with switching times as fast as 20 ps, delay times as short as 60 ps, and switching energy of 150 fJ.
