All-Optical Address Decoder Using Injection-Locking Property of External-Cavity-Based Single-Mode FP-LD

All-optical multi-wavelength conversion using absorption modulation of an injection-locked FP-LD

An all-optical multi-wavelength converter using absorption modulation of an injection-locked Fabry-Perot laser diode (FP-LD) is demonstrated at 2.5Gb/s. The multi-wavelength converter can simultaneously provide 1 to 4 channel outputs and support both inverted and non-inverted conversion. By optimizing the wavelength of pump signal and polarization states of pump, probes, and the FP-LD, all conv...

Reflection-mode optical injection locking.

A novel model including the interference effect of master laser reflection is established for reflection-mode optical injection locking. This model sheds insight on the physical origin of some rather distinct but unexplained modulation characteristics of optical injection-locked vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs), including data pattern inversion in on-off keying modulation, a lar...

All-optical multicasting NOT and NOR logic gates using gain modulation in an FP-LD

We demonstrate all-optical NOT and NOR logic gates at 10Gb/s based on gain modulation of a transverse electric (TE) polarized light in a Fabry-Perot laser diode (FP-LD). An FP-LD shows a gain for a TE-polarized injected probe beam. The gain can be modulated by injection of a pump beam. Using the gain-modulation characteristic, we implemented all-optical NOT and NOR logic gates. We investigate d...

All optical 1 to 2 decoder based on photonic crystal ring resonator

In this paper we combined an optical mixer via photonic crystal ringresonator to propose an all optical 1 to 2 decoder. The main idea used in this paper isbased on controlling the optical behavior of the resonant ring via optical powerintensity. We know that resonant wavelength of the photonic crystal ring resonator isvery sensitive upon the refractive index of dielectric rods, on the other had...
