Development on astable multivibrators using the combination of linear and non-linear materials as switching elements based on all optial method

Abstract

In this communication we propose a method to implement an all-optical astable multivibrator using the non-linear material based switches and logic gates. The scheme can operate in real time. The delay time can achieve ps(pico-second). The pulse duration can be made very low and may cross the THz easily by selecting proper material and laser source.

Keywords
