Electronic circuit for optical control of a flip-flop

摘要

An electronic circuit contains a flip-flop, a switch, a photodiode and a mode-locked laser. The mode-locked laser generates light pulses, which generate a photocurrent in the photodiode the switch transfers the photocurrent to one of two inputs of the flip-flop. The flip-flop outputs its status to at least one output.

1. An electronic circuit comprising:
a flip-flop, a switching device, a photodiode, and a mode-locked laser, wherein the mode-locked laser generates light pulses, wherein the light pulses generate a photocurrent in the photodiode, wherein the switching device transmits the photocurrent to one of two inputs of the flip-flop, wherein the flip-flop outputs its status to at least one output, wherein the switching device transfers the photocurrent dependent upon a switch position to one of the two inputs of the flip-flop, and wherein the switch position of the switching device depends upon a signal at a data input of the switch.
