MUMBAI, India, Nov. 14 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202441036276 A) filed by M. S. Ramaiah University Of Applied Sciences, Bangalore, Karnataka, on May 7, 2024, for 'optical micro ring resonator based decoder and d-flip-flop.'

Inventor(s) include Ugra Mohan Roy; and Vaishnavi Pataki.

The application for the patent was published on Nov. 14, under issue no. 46/2025.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention introduces a 2:4 optical decoder and an optical D flip-flop, both designed using micro-ring resonator (MRR) technology for high-speed, energy-efficient optical computing. The 2:4 optical decoder, constructed by interconnecting three 1:2 decoders, operates at a wavelength of 1.57 m and occupies a compact area of 2.935 10 nm. It ensures low power consumption and efficient signal processing. The optical D flip-flop utilizes MRRs to perform data storage and retrieval at wavelengths of 1.55 m and 1.4 m, leveraging the resonance properties of the MRR for fast and reliable operation. Optimized parameters, such as a waveguide width of 250 nm, height of 540 nm, and a ring radius of 4.7 m, enable compactness and energy efficiency. Simulations validate the performance of both devices, highlighting their suitability for integration into advanced optical communication and computing systems requiring low power, miniaturized designs, and stable functionality."
