We have performed cross-gain modulation experiments on semiconductor optical amplifiers with 100 fs pump pulses. Setting the pump on the high energy side of the gain results in a complex transient for the CW probe that is situated at gain maximum. An important part of this transient is shown to be d
## Abstract Semiconductor optical amplifiers of various lengths are characterized in relation to the fourβwave mixing (FWM) properties, followed by the implementation of wavelength converters based on the crossβgain modulation and FWM. The relative efficiencies of the converters are analyzed and th
In the regime with maximum linear gain in a quantum dot (QD) semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA), instantaneous gain modulation by change of the photon density is possible due to spectral hole burning effects. This, in turn, leads to the opportunity of ultrafast cross-gain modulation (XGM) without
