We present simulation results of an ultrafast all-optical router and a technique for separating the clock synchronization pulse from an incoming optical time division multiplexed data packet, based on all optical switches employing optical feedback. Three terahertz optical asymmetric demultiplexers (TOADs) have been used to model a 1x2 router. Simulation results show that synchronization betwee...

We propose a new type of bistable device for silicon photonics, using the self-electro-optic effect within an optical cavity. Since the bistability does not depend on the intrinsic optical nonlinearity of the material, but is instead engineered by means of optoelectronic feedback, it appears at low optical powers. This bistable device satisfies all the basic criteria required in an optical swit...

Cloud radiative kernels and histograms of cloud fraction, both as functions of cloud-top pressure and optical depth, are used to quantify cloud amount, altitude, and optical depth feedbacks. The analysis is applied to doubled-CO2 simulations from 11 global climate models in the Cloud Feedback Model Intercomparison Project. Global, annual, and ensemble mean longwave (LW) and shortwave (SW) cloud...
