Error-free operation of monolithic all-optical set-reset flip-flop based on semiconductor ring laser

A monolithic semiconductor ring laser is operated as an all-optical flip-flop with a response time of 100 ps. Bit-error-rate measurements of repeated set-reset switchings show error-free operation.
