The optical waveguide which used the optical bistable silicon Raman laser, is laid out in regeneration of the digital signal,

摘要

Playback of digital signal, re-formation, and provides a waveform conversion, optical bistable Raman laser is disclosed. Apparatus according to aspects of the present invention have a (119) an optical waveguide disposed in semiconductor material (121). The second reflector and the first (103, 105) may be disposed within the optical waveguide. The second reflector and the first to define a cavity in the optical waveguide. Its cavity is present for receiving the optical beam having a first wavelength of the first (lambda e) and (109). That the power level of the optical beam of the first received by the cavity rises above the power level of the second power level of the first the power level of the optical beam of the first received by the cavity between to drop lower, I results in the release of (111) optical beam of the second. Power level of the first is less than the power level of the second. [Selection] Figure Figure 1
