Realization of 16 Gbit/s all-optical Toggle memory utilizing change in polarization state of light in single-mode optical fiber

In this investigation,all-optical Toggle flip-flop event-driven memory is explored with data rate of 16 Gbit/s.Single mode optical fiber model is used as a nonlinear medium to generate the output set and reset pulses of a Toggle flip-flop,and the model is based on the bidirectional optical transmission principle,considering the fundamental effects of cross phase modulation and self-phase modulation with change in polarization state.The performance of a flip-flop is evaluated using truth table conditions and performance parameters such as Q factor,which is obtained as 380.92 d B for Q and 272.9 d B for■,and rising and falling times of 7.304 ps and 5.79 ps,respectively are obtained,which makes flip-flop design fast as compared to earlier design techniques.
