诱导式受激布里渊散射相位共轭腔

The theory of ultrafast nonlinear interferometer which is a single-arm interferometer based on a semiconductor laser amplifier is described in Jones matrix. The device is suitable to be a demultiplexer in future optical time-division-multiplexing systems, which utilizes the phase shift induced by the refractive index nonlinearities of SLA.     

Periodicity Characteristic of TOAD's Switching Window

The periodicity characteristic of switching window of a terahertz optical asymmetric demultiplexer (TOAD) using numerical simulation was investigated. The results show that the switching window width of TOAD changes periodically with the time asymmetry of TOAD and the period is one half of the period of control pulses. The theoretical results agree with the experimental results very well.     

控制光和信号光频差对太赫兹光非对称解复用器性能的影响

讨论了半导体光放大器中的带间效应，及载流子热效应、谱烧孔效应、双光子吸收以及超快非线性折射等带内效应对半导体光放大器的动态特性的影响，讨论了两种情况：1)保持控制光波长不变而改变信号光频率，2)保持控制光和信号光频率相同而同时改变它们的频率下半导体光放大器的增益、相位动态特性以及太赫兹光非对称解复用器的开关窗口特性。数值结果表明，为了得到较为平坦而窄的开关窗口，控制光波长应与信号光波长相同，且其与半导体光放大器增益谱中心波长的差值应该大一些。     

SOA-assisted Sagnac switch and investigation of its roadmap from 10 to 40 GHz

Future broadband optical communications networks will rely on all-optical switches to perform a set of processing functions exclusively in the optical domain. Interferometric optical switches using semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) nonlinearities can perform efficient optical switching with few tens of fJ control energies and short fiber lengths allowing for monolithic integration. In this paper we present work performed with a three terminal SOA-assisted Sagnac interferometer. We review all-optical Boolean AND and XOR logic results at 10 GHz and 10 Gb/s for full duty cycle and pseudo-random data pattern operation, respectively, achieved with adequate contrast ratios, remarkably low switching energies and low pattern dependence. The ability of the device to be cascaded was proved up to 10 GHz by recirculating stably for hours arbitrary pattern profiles. Finally, and in view of the extension of photonic networks single channel data rates beyond 40 Gb/s, the performance of the switch was simulated in terms of its critical parameters. The obtained results showed that full switching operation at 40 GHz or higher is feasible either by deploying gain recovery reduction techniques in bulk and quantum well SOAs or alternatively other technologically advanced optical devices, such as quantum dot SOAs.
