All-optical hysteresis control by means of cross-phase modulation in semiconductor optical amplifiers
We describe the principle of operation of an all-optical flip-flop based on dispersive bistability in a distributed feedback semiconductor optical amplifier. Cross-phase modulation controls the photonic bandgap and Bragg resonances of the amplifier, thereby shifting the hysteresis and switching thresholds to higher or lower powers. We give the details of a simple theoretical model that is used ...
متن کاملAll Optical Parametric Frequency Conversion Based on Cross Gain Modulation on a Reflective Semiconductor Optical Amplifier
This paper reports a detailed experimental study of the wavelength conversion dynamics using cross-gain modulation in reflective semiconductor optical amplifiers. The effect of pump and probe powers on the operating performance in terms of signal to noise ratio was experimentally investigating. The variation of others performance indicators such as extinction ratio, timing jitter and eye openin...
متن کاملUsing Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers
Semiconductor optical amplifiers are used for efficient wavelength conversion up to 4 Gb / s. The rise and fall time as well as extinction ratio are experimentally analyzed. System performance at 4 Gb / s is evaluated showing a penalty of only 1.5 dB for the converted signal for conversion over 17 nm.
متن کاملSelf-Phase Modulation in Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers
This paper presents a detailed theoretical and experimental study of the impact of amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) on self-phase modulation in semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs). A theoretical model of pulse propagation in SOAs is developed that includes the ASE power and its effect on gainsaturation and gain-recovery. We study the impact of ASE on the nonlinear phase shift, frequency...
متن کاملNegative Feedback Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers and All-Optical Triode
The field of optical communications is moving toward the realization of photonic networks with wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) utilizing the full bandwidth of optical fibers. Conventionally, an erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) and a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) are used for amplifying an optical signal in optical communications. SOAs can contribute to this and offer the key a...
