40 Gbps All‐Optical 3R Regeneration and Format Conversion with Related InP‐Based Semiconductor Devices

We report an experimental demonstration of 40 Gbps all‐optical 3R regeneration with all‐optical clock recovery based on InP semiconductor devices. We also obtain all optical non‐return‐to‐zero to return‐to‐zero (NRZ‐to‐RZ) format conversion using the recovered clock signal at 10 Gbps and 40 Gbps. It leads to a good performance using a Mach‐Zehnder interferometric wavelength converter and a self‐pulsating laser diode (LD). The self‐pulsating LD serves a recovered clock, which has an rms timing jitter as low as sub‐picosecond. In the case of 3R regeneration of RZ data, we achieve a 1.0 dB power penalty at 10^?9 BER after demultiplexing 40 Gbps to 10 Gbps with an eletro‐absorption modulator. The regenerated 3R data shows stable error‐free operation with no BER floor for all channels. The combination of these functional devices provides all‐optical 3R regeneration with NRZ‐to‐RZ conversion.     

Monolithic Integration of a Waveguide Optical Isolator With a Distributed Feedback Laser Diode in the 1.5- μm Wavelength Range

We present first monolithic integration of a waveguide optical isolator with a distributed feedback laser diode (DFB LD) in the 1.5-mum wavelength range. The integrated devices are composed of 0.25-mm-long index-coupled DFB LDs and 0.75-mm-long semiconductor active waveguide optical isolators. The semiconductor active waveguide optical isolators are based on the nonreciprocal loss in the semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) waveguides with ferromagnetic metals (Fe). The fabrication process consists of two steps of metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy to grow the DFB LD/SOA layer structures, one dry-etching process for the waveguide stripe formation, and three steps of electron-beam evaporation for the electrodes and ferromagnetic metals deposition. They showed single-mode emission at 1543.8nm and 4-dB optical isolation under a magnetic field of 0.1 T.     

Polarization insensitive frequency converter with the capability ofchirp removal

We report on a new type of polarization insensitive frequency conversion technique using four-wave mixing (FWM) in a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA). In this technique the input signal is spectrally duplicated by a Mach-Zehnder type phase modulator. Then, the resulting two waves generate the frequency converted output signal by FWM with use of an additional pump wave. The converted output wavelength is independent of the wavelength of the input signal. In addition to the frequency conversion, the chirp of the input signal is removed by the FWM process bit-error-rate (BER)-measurements after transmission of the converted signal over standard communication fiber are reported

Bit-error-rate saturation due to mode-partition noise induced by optical feedback in 1.5-µm single longitudinal-mode C3and DFB semiconductor lasers

We report first measurements of the effect of optical feedback on the bit error rate (BER) as a function of received power of single longitudinal mode cleaved-coupled cavity (C³) and distributed-feedback (DFB) semiconductor lasers. Mode-partition noise, induced by the optical feedback, can cause a bit error-rate floor for large optical feedbacks, but it is shown that high-performance C³lasers and especially DFB lasers can withstand very large optical feedbacks without system degradation.
