All-Optical Wavelength Conversion at Bit Rates Above 10 Gb/s Using Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers
This work assesses the prospects for high-speed alloptical wavelength conversion using the simple optical interaction with the gain in semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOA’s) via the interband carrier recombination. Operation and design guidelines for conversion speeds above 10 Gb/s are described and the various tradeoffs are discussed. Experiments at bit rates up to 40 Gb/s are presented for ...
متن کاملSemiconductor Optical Amplifiers and their Application for All Optical Wavelength Conversion
All optical networks and switches are envisioned as a solution to the increasing complexity and power consumption of today’s communication networks who rely on optical fibers for the transmission of information but use electronics at the connecting points on the network (nodes) to perform the switching operation. All optical networks, in contrast, will use simple signalling methods to trigger a...
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 کاملSemiconductor optical amplifiers at 2.0-μm wavelength on silicon
P A P ER Abstract A semiconductor optical amplifier at 2.0-μm wavelength is reported. This device is heterogeneously integrated by directly bonding an InP-based active region to a silicon substrate. It is therefore compatible with low-cost and highvolume fabrication infrastructures, and can be efficiently coupled to other active and passive devices in a photonic integrated circuit. On-chip gain...
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...
