Demonstration of digital optical D flip flop based on photonic micro-ring resonator

Abstract

In this paper, we demonstrated an optical D-type flip-flop based on the electro optic switching effect of silicon microring resonator. The operation of the flip flop has been verified by simulation using a clock signal of 10 Gbps and data signal of 1 Gbps. The results of the proposed flip-flop have been presented by the timing diagrams.
