Abstract

In this article, the effect of coupling coefficient variations on an all optical Flip Flop performance based on gain clamped semiconductor optical amplifier according to distributed bragg reflectors by extensive band model of wave diffusion in time domain has been analyzed by finite difference time method through MATLAB. Factors such as material profile in grating waveguide constructions, optical field length changes, carrier density, and extensive band spontaneous noise dispatch has been mentioned in this simulation. Besides, bistability property which is the required element of the flip flop function will be used. The effect of the input optical power parameter and designing active region length change parameter in the function of the segment was analyzed.
