Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Ultrafast optical devices are strongly desired to process large-capacity data-traffic on expanding information networks. A superconductive electronic device with high Tc superconductor is an attractive candidate for an ultrafast signal processing with very low power consumption. We have discovered that the local superconducting current could be modulated by the illumination of femtosecond laser pulses. As a result, magnetic fluxes were generated around the laser spot. Such phenomena are not only interesting for fundamental physics concerning an optical excitation of quantized states but also important from a viewpoint of the development of ultrafast optical devices using magnetic fluxes. Recently, we have fabricated a novel superconducting photonic device based on a Josephson vortex flow transistor (JVFT) with an YBCO thin film, and investigated the optical properties of this type of device using an optical measurement system with a femtosecond laser. In this report, we introduce our approaches to realize the ultrafast optical devices and show the recent results of optical signal processing with JVFTs.
