Abstract
The configuration of coupled ultra-small Mach-Zehnder all-optical switches is quite attractive for high-speed optical flip-flops. Its bistability is experimentally demonstrated with an emulated setup. High-speed capability corresponding to 10 and 40 Gb/s is confirmed with simulation based on rate equation analysis.
