The pulse con¨ersion characteristics of an interferometric wa¨elength con¨erter using XPM in SOA and the influence of the ASE on the con¨ersion process are analyzed in the time domain. The ¨ariations of the output extinction ratio without and with ASE are obtained for different SOA lengths and probe
## Abstract Semiconductor optical amplifiers of various lengths are characterized in relation to the four‐wave mixing (FWM) properties, followed by the implementation of wavelength converters based on the cross‐gain modulation and FWM. The relative efficiencies of the converters are analyzed and th
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
Performance analysis is carried out for an all-optical wavelength converter based on cross-phase modulation in two semiconductor optical ampliÿers (SOAs) arranged in a Mach-Zehnder interferometer conÿguration to evaluate the e ciency of conversion and the signal-to-crosstalk ratio (SCR) at the outpu
