Characteristics of the Wavelength Converted Signal in Wavelength Conversion Based on Cross-Gain Modulation

An analytical theory describing the frequency chirp characteristics of the wavelength converted signal in wavelength conversion based on cross-gain modulation (XGM) in semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) is derived. By computation, we can see that low input pump power, high probe power, small line-width enhancement factor and low unsaturated single-pass gain of the SOA are favorable for reducing the frequency chirp of the wavelength converted signal. The analytical results have significance in understanding and designing wavelength converters.

Theoretical and Experimental Study on all-optical Wavelength Converters Based on the Single-port-coupled SOA

We analyze the all-optical wavelength converter (AOWC)-based on cross-gain modulation (XGM) in a single-port-coupled (SPC) semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA). A comprehensive dynamic model is developed by considering longitudinal variations of the carrier density, the residual rear-facet reflectivity of the SOA and the wide-band spontaneous noise emission. The numerical simulations for the novel wavelength conversion at 10 Gbit/s are presented based on the model. The extinction ratio (ER), conversion efficiency and pattern effect of the SPC-SOA-based wavelength converters are investigated, respectively. Compared with the traditional scheme of the double-portcoupled (DPC) SOA, the SPC-SOA scheme has better performance. We have obtained that the ER is higher than 10 dB with the pump wavelength turned over 15nm from experiments. The experimental results are in agreement with the simulation results.

Experimental Study of Single- and Multicast Wavelength Conversion at 10 Gb/s Exploiting Four-Wave Mixing in Highly Non-Linear-Photonic Crystal Fiber with Widely Tunable Conversion Range

Abstract

Optical networking applications require the use of all-optical wavelength converters with input and output wavelength tenability as well as large numbers of multicasting channels. This article demonstrates the single-to-multiple wavelength conversion via multiple four-wave mixings between a 10-Gbit/s return-to-zero signal and several continuous waves co-propagating in a dispersion-flattened highly non-linear photonic crystal fiber. For single-to-single channel wavelength conversion, a wide conversion range of 31 nm is achieved with the optimal conversion efficiency of ?21.4 dB. By employing several continuous-wave probe lights, tunable single-to-dual and single-to-triple channel wavelength conversions are experimentally demonstrated, respectively. Moreover, the dynamic characteristics of the designed wavelength converter are studied under the conditions of variable input powers, polarization mismatch, and different lengths of the highly non-linear-photonic crystal fiber. The system is transparent to both bit rate and modulation format. This is very useful for engineering design and applications of optical-fiber-based wavelength converters in future ultra-high-speed photonic networks.
