Abstract
A promising device for parallel optical computing is the nonlinear Fabry-Perot (NLFP), where a nonlinear refractive index change related to optical carrier excitation in a semiconductor layer is amplified inside a Fabry-Perot (FP) cavity. Research activity in this field [1,2,3] has evolved towards all-epitaxially grown structures; the use of alloy and multiple quantum well material; thermally stable operation; and recently, towards biased and array operation.
