N2 - We present a novel ultrafast all-optical memory scheme that has the potential to meet the demanding requirement for 100Gb/s all-optical data storage. The all-optical memory integrates an all-optical ring resonator flip-flop with an innovative GMCI (gain manipulation of coupler interference) based all-optical switch for ultrafast READ and WRITE. The potential device performance advantages include very low operating power for the memory element (<50μW per bit), low read-write power for the GMCI based all-optical switch (<0.5-5mW), ultrafast operation (10-100Gbit/s), very compact size (<10μm × 10μm per bit), addressable at bit or byte level, and monolithically integrated on InP chip.
