Description

The authors reported construction and optical logic operation of monolithic microresonator arrays constructed of GaAs and AlAs. Molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) was used to deposit alternate quarterweave layers of AlAs and GaAs forming an interference mirror. GaAs -- 1.6 μm thick provided a spacer layer. More quarterweave layers comprised a second mirror. Ion beam assisted etching produced arrays of microresonators with typical dimensions of 1.5-μm diameter and 4-μm length with 3-μm center-to-center spacing. Lasing has been demonstrated with these structures. A synchronously pumped mode-locked dye laser provided picosecond pulses at -- 810 nm for pumping
