Efficient Optical Phase modalation using A Semiconductor Optical Amplifier

dynamic analysis of semiconductor laser amplifier using transfer matrix method

transfer matrix method (tmm) has been applied to analyze characteristics of semiconductor laser optical amplifiers. the input signal is sinusoidal modulating wave and we do not assume the modulating bias signal as well. we have shown that the distoration arises from gain modulation at low modulation frequencies, but in microwave modulation frequencies, the gain takes an average value and the re...

Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers in WDM Tree-Net

In this paper, effectiveness of semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOA's) in tree-net in terms of increase in the number of users has been investigated. In the analysis, SOA's with i) unsaturated gain, ii) average gain saturation, and iii) average gain saturation with gain fluctuations have been considered. Further, the results for the tree-net are compared with those for the star network. It is...

Semiconductor-Optical-Amplifier Mach-Zehnder Interferometer Based Optical Networks

In this paper, an all-optical AND logic scheme which exploits the cross-phase modulation (XPM) effect in semiconductor-optical-amplifier-assisted Mach-Zehnder Interferometer (SOA-MZI), is proposed, performance analyzed and parameters optimized. The proposal is validated and the system performance under various parameters is examined through numerical simulations. With only moderate parameters, ...

High-performance optical amplifier for WDM communication systems

Gain equalization of an EDFA is performed by introducing spectrally designed all-fiber filters in the midstage of a dual-stage fiber amplifier. Two types of filters are studied: a cascade of narrow-band Bragg gratings for discrete equalization of a finite number of channels and a wide-band Bragg grating performing equalization over the whole 1539 nm to 1557 nm range. In future work, it is plann...
