Wavelength conversion by four-wave mixing in a folded-path, self-pumped semiconductor optical amplifier
WB7 Fig. 2. Spectra measured at the output of the SOA (0.1-nm resolution bandwidth). The upper shows the down-converted signals for the 30-, 20-, and 10-nm shifts (fromleft to right). For the smallest shift, we also show the pump and the input signal. The pump wavelength was tuned to lower wavelengths at constant power to achieve the larger shifts. The lower figure shows the up-converted signal...
متن کاملFour-wave mixing and phase conjugation in semiconductor laser media.
A theory of four-wave mixing in semiconductor laser media is developed by considering the contributions of both the gain and index gratings created by the carrier-density modulation occurring at the beat frequency of the pump and the probe waves. The general formalism can be applied to semiconductor lasers operating below or above threshold. As an illustration, we consider the case in which the...
متن کاملAll-Optical Switching of Picosecond Pulses by Four-Wave Mixing in a Semiconductor Optical Amplifier
High-speed all-optical switching is demonstrated by four-wave mixing (FWM) of picosecond pulses using semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOA). A light source for measurement and switching in the 1.5 μm region is produced using a normal group velocity dispersion fiber and optical parametric oscillator. The output supercontinuum (SC) optical pulses, with a spectral width of approximately 300 nm, a...

متن کاملPhase noise of four-wave mixing in semiconductor lasers
A simple theoretical analysis shows that the linewidth of the conjugate wave produced in four-wave mixing in semiconductor lasers is equal to the linewidth of the probe plus four times the linewidth of the pump. Experimental results in good agreement with the theory are presented. This result implies an enormous enhancement in the phase noise of the conjugate wave and sets a limitation on some ...
