Modeling the effects of interband and intraband transitions on phase and gain stabilities of quantum dot semiconductor optical amplifiers

In this paper, the effects of interband and intraband transitions on the gain and phase stabilities in quantum dot semiconductor optical amplifier (QD-SOA) are investigated both temporally and spectrally employing electrical and optical pumping schemes. For this purpose, the carrier rate equations in different energy states coupled to the traveling wave optical field equation have been numerically solved to derive the dynamical behavior of QD-SOA. Our results show that the gain and phase response can be stabled under optical pumping (OP) scheme because the role of the interband and intraband transitions on the dynamics of QD-SOA is reduced. This behavior leads to high-speed pattern effect-free cross-phase modulation (XPM) in QD-SOA. It is found that optically pumped QD-SOA can have high performance in phase based applications. Moreover, it is shown that under OP scheme although the QD-SOA has lower gain value and slower gain recovery time, the ultrafast cross-gain modulation (XGM) without pattern effect is possible and the phase is recovered within a shorter time compared to EP scheme. The behavior arises from the different capacity of the carrier reservoir for pumping schemes.     

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.

Performance analysis of symmetrical 10 Gbps colorless WDM-PON using subcarrier modulated downstream and wavelength converted upstream through RSOA

Here we have demonstrated a novel architecture of colorless wavelength division multiplexed-passive optical network (WDM-PON) and analyze its performance which is capable of transmitting 10 Gbps data symmetrically in both downstream and upstream. In this architecture downstream data is subcarrier modulated (SCM) using radio frequency (RF) as subcarrier and laser frequency as carrier with the help of a Mach–Zehnder modulator (MZM). For upstream data modulation an electro-absorption modulator, an optical coupler and reflective semiconductor optical amplifier (RSOA) are used. Upstream data is transmitted through wavelength conversion between pump wavelength and continuous wave light sent from central office (CO) using cross gain modulation (XGM) in RSOA. Pump wavelengths have separate wavelength band than the carrier's wavelength sent from optical network unit (ONU) and can be chosen any one in its band. Since carrier reuse scheme is implemented so all the ONUs are operates in colorless mode. Effect of ER of delay interferometer (DI) on output OCSR of DI for different input OCSR is performed for SCM data. Simulation is performed with all 16 downlink and 16 uplink channels having data rate of 10 Gbps having acceptable performance.

We experimentally investigate the gain saturation effect of a piece of 8 m long Erbium doped fiber (EDF), we introduce a theoretical model for the EDF ring loop, and our simulation results show very good cross-gain modulation (XGM) and wavelength conversion. We also experimentally investigate the XGM in an EDF ring loop system. Based on the study of the XGM in the EDF ring loop system, a wavelength conversion is designed with the EDF ring loop system. The EDF ring loop systems as a wavelength conversion is experimentally demonstrated by converting a sinusoidal modulated optical signal at wavelength of 1551 nm to an optical signal at wavelength of 1553.3 nm.

All optical latches using quantum-dot semiconductor optical amplifier

The design and performance of two optical latches, the Set-Reset (SR) latch and D-Flip-Flop has been studied. These latches are the building blocks of large optical processors. The latches are built using two optical logic operations NAND and NOT. Both NAND and NOT operations are realized by using Mach-Zhender interferometer (MZI) utilizing semiconductor optical amplifier with quantum dot active region (QD-SOA). Nonlinear dynamics including carrier heating and spectral hole-burning in the QD-SOA are taken into account together with the rate equations in order to realize the all-optical logic operations. Results show that this scheme can realize the functions of Set-Reset latch and D-Flip-Flop at high speeds (∼250 Gb/s). The dependence of the output quality (Q factor) on QD-SOA parameters is also discussed.
