A simple design of optically pumped J−K flip-flop using a two GaAs–AlGaAs based optical microring resonator (OMRR) is introduced. The nonlinear property of a GaAs–AlGaAs based ring resonator is explored to use it as an optical switch. A high-intensity optical pump pulse is used for the switching operation of the OMRR. A theoretical model of the proposed J–K flip-flop circuit is developed by applying the delay line signal process approach. Z-domain model of the circuit is explored to analyze its performance. Various performance parameters—such as contrast ratio (CR), extinction ratio (ER), on-off ratio (Ton-off), and amplitude modulation (AM)—are determined from the simulation results obtained on MATLAB. The optimum values of CR, ER, Ton-off, and AM are calculated for the proposed model, which confirms the feasibility of the flip-flop.
The performance of 4×1 multiplexer (MUX) and 8×1 multiplexer (MUX) using GaAs–AlGaAs based optical microring resonator (OMRR) is presented. The 4×1 MUX is designed with two OMRR and 8×1 MUX is designed with three OMRR. The proposed structure of 8×1 MUX is further used to design 8-bit logic shifter circuit. The nonlinear property of OMRR is used as an optical switch in all the optical logic circuits. The performance of 4×1 MUX, 8×1 MUX, and 8-bit logic shifter circuit is analyzed using Z-domain model. The various important parameters of the proposed model, such as on–off ratio [τon-off(dB)], full-width half maximum (FWHM), Q-factor, extinction ratio [ξER(dB)], contrast ratio [χCR(dB)] amplitude modulation [ηAM(dB)], are also analyzed.
