Abstract

Temporal cavity solitons (CSs) have been proposed to store the information in the form of optical bits in a single-pump Kerr micro-resonator. However, such optical buffers (OBs) realized using a single-pump are essentially asynchronous in nature. In this paper, we show that dual-pump scheme can lead to both synchronous and robust OB. Numerical simulations reveal the resilience in the performance of the OB against the writing jitters and third-order dispersion induced temporal drift. The impact of nonideal operating conditions, such as unequal pump amplitudes and pump detuning mismatch on the performance of the synchronous OB, are evaluated and the robustness of the OB with respect to these aspects are explored both analytically and numerically. As an interesting application of the proposed dual-pump scheme, we have demonstrated the capability to perform simultaneous logic operations (AND, OR) of the proposed device. All the conclusions are supported by analytical and semi-analytical approaches.
