Abstract
An optical fiber loop memory is proposed, using a photonic switch devi ce of a vertical to surface transmission electro-photonic device. The photonic switch works as an optical pulse repeater. The operation stab ility as the memory was analyzed, and more than 30 minutes storage tim e has been realized. The maximum operational clock was as high as 20 M Hz. This memory may be a part of the future optical computer.
