Abstract
A phase-locking system is provided that includes a bridge, a light source and an optical pulse injector. The bridge includes a plurality of negative differential resistance devices for storing an input signal. The light source is capable of producing an optical pulse. The optical pulse injector receives the optical pulse and transmits an optical signal to trigger the bridge in response to receiving the optical pulse.
