Abstract
An InP-buried side-injection-light-controlled bistable laser diode (SILC-BLD) has been fabricated for digital optical processing. Signal-regenerating wavelength conversion and optical demultiplexing for non-return-to-zero (NRZ) optical signals are simultaneously demonstrated with the module, which has integrated functions for gating input signals, digital regeneration, and bit memory characteristics.Keywords
