Spatial solitary-wave optical memory (1990)
Journal Article
Mcdonald, G., & Firth, W. (1990). Spatial solitary-wave optical memory. Journal of the Optical Society of America B, 7(7), 1328-1335. https://doi.org/10.1364/JOSAB.7.001328

We consider some features of spatial solitary-wave switching in a unidirectional ring cavity that is partially filled with a fast and saturably self-focusing nonlinear medium. Large (part-beam switched) solitary arrays are considered. It is found tha... Read More about Spatial solitary-wave optical memory.

All-optical switching in a nonlinear resonator (1990)
Journal Article
Mcdonald, G., & Firth, W. (1990). All-optical switching in a nonlinear resonator. Journal of Modern Optics, 37(4), 613-626. https://doi.org/10.1080/09500349014550701

In this paper we consider some features of all-optical switching in a unidirectional ring cavity which is partially filled with a fast and saturably nonlinear medium. A comparative study of cross-talk for both signs of nonlinearity, in a two pixel (w... Read More about All-optical switching in a nonlinear resonator.
