All-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 کاملAll-optical switching with transverse optical patterns
We demonstrate an all-optical switch that operates at ultra-low-light levels and exhibits several features necessary for use in optical switching networks. An input switching beam, wavelength , with an energy density of 10−2 photons per optical cross section = 2 / 2 changes the orientation of a two-spot pattern generated via parametric instability in warm rubidium vapor. The instability is indu...
متن کاملOptimization of Bistability in Nonlinear Chalcogenide Fiber Bragg Grating for All Optical Switch and Memory Applications
We solve the coupled mode equations governing the chalcogenide nonlinear fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) numerically, and obtain the bistability characteristics. The characteristics of the chalcogenide nonlinear FBGs such as: switching threshold intensity, bistability interval and on-off switching ratio are studied. The effects of FBG length and its third order nonlinear refractive index on FBG cha...
متن کاملSub-picosecond all-optical switch using a multi-quantum-well semiconductor optical amplifier
We investigate an all-optical switch that is operated by the nonlinear phase-shift introduced by optical pulses with duration of 200 fs in a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOAs). The gate is made out of a commercially available InGaAsP–InGaAs multi-quantum-well (MQW) SOA placed in a Mach–Zehnder interferometer. We have measured the nonlinear phase-shift as a function of the injection current ...
متن کاملGb / s Silicon All - Optical Packet Switch for Buffer - less Optical Burst Switching
We experimentally demonstrate a 160-Gb/s Ethernet 4 packet switch using an 8.6-mm-long silicon nanowire for optical 5 burst switching, based on cross phase modulation in silicon. One 6 of the four packets at the bit rate of 160 Gb/s is switched by an 7 optical control signal using a silicon based 1 × 1 all-optical packet 8 switch. Error free performance (BER < 1E-9) is achieved for the 9 switch...
