Optical Frequency Conversion Using Nearly Degenerate Four-Wave Mixing in a Distributed-Feedback Semiconductor Laser: Theory and Experiment
نویسنده
چکیده
An analytical description of nearly degenerate four-wave mixing in a single-mode semiconductor laser operating above threshold is given by using the rate-equation model. The theoretical result is confirmed by the experiment measuring the power amplification of probe and conjugate waves. A 155-Mb / s frequency-shift keying optical-transmission system is demonstrated using four-wave mixing in a bulk distributedfeedback laser diode, for wavelength conversion, optical-signal amplification, and data up-streaming.

We will present a detailed investigation of intersubband transitions process in core-multi shells quantum dots. The confined wave functions and eigenenergies of electrons in quantum dots have been calculated under the effective-mass approximation by solving a three-dimensional Schrodinger equation. Excellent dependence is found between size effects, time relaxation and degenerate four wave mixi...

We present a systematic theory of Coulomb interaction effects in the nonlinear optical processes in semiconductors using a perturbation series in the exciting laser field. The third-order dynamical response consists of phase-space filling correction, mean-field exciton-exciton interaction, and two-exciton correlation effects expressed as a force-force correlation function. The theory provides a...
