Abstract
Dynamic all-optical flip-flop operation is observed for a single distributed feedback laser diode using the spatial hole burning effect. Bistabilities with extinction ratios of up to 35 dB are obtained. For the flip-flop operation, we demonstrate repetition rates up to 1.25 GHz using pulses of 0.5 pJ.
