✦ Synopsis

Abstract

By optimizing the carrier distribution along the longitudinal axis of a two‐section semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA), we have improved the modulation/switching performances (modulation index and efficiency, switching contrast) with respect to those of a single‐section component. The modulation efficiency has been raised by up to 137%. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 31: 126–129, 2001.

## Abstract We propose an all‐optical switch based on cross‐polarization modulation in a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA), operating at 2.5 Gbits/s with an NRZ pseudorandom data sequence. The effect consists of an induced modification of the birefringence and waveguide eigenmodes of an SOA pro
