Kerr-effect-induced S-R flip-flop operation in an optical fiber loop resonator with double couplers.
We carry out a theoretical analysis of Kerr bistability in a double-coupler optical fiber loop resonator in a case of two coexisting input optical fields, and we propose a set-reset (S-R) flip-flop operation that uses two input ports. We found that in the optimum case set and reset operation can be achieved at relatively low optical input powers.
