In this paper, based on the coupled-mode and carrier rate equations, a dynamic model and numerical analysis of a multi quantum well (MQW) chirped distributed feedback semiconductor optical amplifier (DFB-SOA)  all-optical flip-flop is precisely derived. We have analyzed the effects of strains of QW and MQW and cross phase modulation (XPM) on the dynamic response, and rise and fall times of the ...

This paper introduces an optical measurement system for shock wave characteristics. The system works by mountinga metal plate attached to spring mounts against the shock wavefront. This set is sealed and can plot the shock wave pressure diagram by measuring plate's displacement, radiation and changing the reflection of light during shock wave conflict, and converting these optical data to volta...

The modulation response, relative intensity noise (RIN) and frequency noise (FN) characteristics of quantum dot (QD) lasers are investigated theoretically in the presence of an external optical beam. Using small signal analysis of the rate equations for carriers and photons, it is demonstrated that by injecting excess carriers into the QDs excited state through optical pumping, the modulation r...

We propose a novel method for the detection of vibrations caused by trains in an optical fiber buried nearby the railway track. Using optical time-domain reflectometry vibrations in the ground caused by different sources can be detected with high accuracy in time and space. While several algorithms have been proposed in the literature for train tracking using OTDR signals they have not been tes...

as we know sol-gel is one of the most important techniques for thin film preparation. in this paper, high transmission silica thin films have been prepared by dip-coating process from a new silicon-alkoxide solution. the prepared sol was stable for 45 days which is very important to characterize the coating process. the optical properties as a function of aging time, withdrawal rate, and heat t...

Larger width of P-cladding layer in p-i-n waveguide of traveling wave electroabsorption modulator (TWEAM) results in lower resistance and microwave propagation loss which provides an enhanced high speed electro-optical response. In this paper, a fullvectorial finite-difference-based optical mode solver is presented to analyze mushroom-type TWEAM for the first time. In this analysis, the discont...
