Negative 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...
متن کاملA Proposal for a New Method of Modeling of the Quantum Dot Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers
With the advancement of nanoscale semiconductor technology,semiconductor optical amplifiers are used to amplify and process all-optical signals. Inthis paper, with the aim of calculating the gain of quantum dot semiconductor opticalamplifier (QD-SOA), two groups of rate equations and the optical signal propagatingequation are used in the active layer of the device. For t...
متن کاملPolarization anisotropy in vertical-cavity semiconductor optical amplifiers.
The polarization-dependent gain (PDG) characteristics of a vertical-cavity semiconductor optical amplifier (VCSOA) are measured, and the case of the PDG is determined. It is often assumed that the polarization states of a VCSOA are degenerate because of the circular geometry of the device. This assumption is not true in practice, and it is found that VCSOAs possess a dominant linear polarizatio...

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.
