All-optical flip-flops based on dynamic Brillouin gratings in fibers

Luc Thévenaz, Marcelo Alfonso Soto Hernandez, Andrey Denisov

A method to generate an all-optical flip-flop is proposed and experimentally demonstrated based on dynamic Brillouin gratings (DBGs) in polarization maintaining fibers. In a fiber with sufficiently uniform birefringence, this flip-flop can provide extremel ...

All-optical flip-flop based on dynamic Brillouin gratings

Luc Thévenaz, Marcelo Alfonso Soto Hernandez, Andrey Denisov

One of the most essential building blocks in modem electronics is the flip-flop. A flip-flop operates bi-stably between two states, remaining at a given output level (high or low level) until a specific input control signal changes. For many years, photoni ...

Approximation-aware Rewriting of AIGs for Error Tolerant Applications

Mathias Soeken, Arun Chandrasekharan

Approximation circuits offer superior performance (speed and area) compared to traditional circuits at the cost of computational accuracy. The accuracy of the results in approximation circuits is evaluated based on several error metrics such as worst-case ...

On communication over discrete memoryless channels with noiseless feedback

Peter Allan Berlin

The addition of a feedback link to a discrete memoryless channel does not increase its capacity, but it does bring with it other benefits. One of these benefits is an increase to the best achievable error exponent. In the first part of this thesis we revis ...
