Nonlinear polarization rotation induced by ultrashort optical pulses in a semiconductor optical amplifier
We use a new rate-equation model for the propagation of sub-picosecond polarized optical pulses in a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA). This model is based on the decomposition of the polarized optical field into TE and TM components that interact via the gain saturation, and accounts for two-photon absorption, free-carrier absorption, selfand cross-phase modulation, carrier heating, and sp...
متن کاملAn optical threshold function based on polarization rotation in a single semiconductor optical amplifier.
Optical threshold functions are a basic building block for all-optical signal processing, and this paper investigates a threshold function design reliant on a single active element. An optical threshold function based on nonlinear polarization rotation in a single semiconductor optical amplifier is proposed. It functions due to an induced modification of the birefringence of a semiconductor opt...
متن کاملAll-optical 1310 to 1550 nm wavelength conversion by utilising nonlinear polarisation rotation in semiconductor optical amplifier - Electronics Letters
Introduction: One of the key components in all-optical communication networks using the whole low-loss bandwidth of the silica fibre is an ultra-wideband wavelength converter [1]. Use of all-optical ultrawideband wavelength converters enhances network flexibility, allowing an all-optical wavelength conversion between different transmission windows, and therefore avoiding the bottleneck of optic...
متن کاملA novel mode-locked ring laser based on polarization saturation in a semiconductor optical amplifier
Recently, in our group 800 fs optical pulses were generated in a mode-locked ring laser operated by polarization saturation in a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA). We investigate numerically the generation of sub-picosecond optical pulses in such a configuration, consisting of a SOA and a linear polarizer placed in a ring. Polarization saturation in the SOA takes the role of a saturable abs...
متن کاملTheoretical study on wavelength conversion using cross-polarization modulation in a single semiconductor optical amplifier
Wavelength conversion based on the cross-polarization modulation (XPM) in a single semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) has been numerically investigated by using the theoretical model in which the birefringence has been taken into account. The results show that the non-inverted and inverted wavelength conversion can be realized through selecting reasonably the parameters; there exit some diff...
