    A set-reset all-optical flip-flop (SR-AOFF) based on semiconductor optical amplifier Mach-Zehnder interferometer (SOA-MZI) is proposed. Simulation results show that low switching energy in the femto joule range, the transition time of less than 20 ps, high stability and high extinction ratio (ER) of 30 dB can be achieved, while AOFF output is power insensitive approximately.
