Optimizing OSSB Generation Using Semiconductor Optical Amplifier (SOA) for 5G Millimeter Wave Switching

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...

Towards 5G: A Photonic Based Millimeter Wave Signal Generation for Applying in 5G Access Fronthaul.
