## Abstract Nonlinear propagation and wave mixing characteristics of pulses in semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) are analyzed using the finiteβdifference beam propagation method (FDβBPM). From the analyzed output waveform it is found that the peak positions of pulses are shifted to the leadin
We demonstrated selective amplification of supercontinuum ultrashort optical pulses around 1300-nm and 1550-nm bands by injecting a supercontinuum source into a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) and an erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA), respectively. The broadband supercontinuum source was obt
We report a technique for detecting weak scattered light pulses based on a 532 nm pumped picosecond b-barium-borate collinear optical parametric amplifier. The measured maximum slope gain factor of the amplifier was found to be around 10 7 , and the energy detection limit was of the order of fJ/puls
## Abstract By optimizing the carrier distribution along the longitudinal axis of a twoβsection semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA), we have improved the modulation/switching performances (modulation index and efficiency, switching contrast) with respect to those of a singleβsection component. Th
