Abstract
A nonlinear optical resonator with delayed-feedback can exhibit a large variety of multistable oscillation modes and chaos.1,2 It has been proposed and experimentally confirmed that multi-bit binary optical data can be stored in the peak modulation pattern of the multistable oscillation modes.2,3 It was also shown that chaotic mode-transitions can be used to realize the novel function of automatic selection of an optimum output sequence.4 Such phenomena are potentially useful for a wide range of optical communication applications involving generation and memory of arbitrary optical bit sequences.
