heal.abstract	An all-optical recirculating shift register with inverter that uses entirely semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) is demonstrated operating at 10 GHz. SOAs provide nonlinear switching in a Sagnac interferometer as well as feedback amplification. The device could hold arbitrary pattern profiles recirculating stably for hours. This demonstration also proves the cascadability of the SOA-assisted Sagnac switch up to 10 GHz. (C) 2003 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers.	en
