Efficient Optical Phase modalation using A Semiconductor Optical Amplifier

Design and simulation of a simple laser rangefinder using a semiconductor optical amplifier-detector.

Using numerical simulations, we show that cross-gain modulation between pairs of counter-propagating pulses within a semiconductor optical amplifier can be used to detect the range and reflectivity of a target, forming a compact time-of-flight laser ranger. The range is deduced from multiple contacts along the SOA. The SOA also provides gain to the optical pulses reflected off the target. A sin...

All-optical logic gates using a semiconductor optical amplifier assisted by an optical filter

A simple all-optical logic device, composed of an SOA and an optical filter, is proposed. By utilizing optical filtering, multi-logic functions (AND, OR and XOR) are demonstrated at 10 Gb/s using the same setup, under different operation conditions. Simulations indicate that the device can operate at much higher bit rate. Introduction: All-optical logic gates have received considerable attentio...

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, ...
