Abstract
We demonstrate a frequency-domain transfer function analysis for optical T-Flip-Flops relying on feedback loops, along with experimental verification. Our analysis confirms experimental results, showing that optimized circuit design can enable optical T-Flip-Flop memory speeds higher than 40GHz.
