Abstract
We demonstrate an all-optical pseudorandom binary number generator comprise d of two coupled regenerative optical memories and an XOR gate. Both sub-ma ximal binary sequences and maximal length pseudorandom sequences were succe ssfully demonstrated. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
