All-optical ultra-wideband doublet signal source based on the cross-gain modulation in a semiconductor optical amplifier

We propose a novel scheme to generate the ultra-wideband (UWB) doublet signal pulse based on the cross-gain modulation (XGM) in a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA). In the scheme, only an optical source and an SOA are needed. As there is only one wavelength included in the output doublet signal pulse, no time difference between the upper and down pulses is introduced during the transmission process. By using the software of Optisystem 7.0, the impacts of the optical power, the SOA current, the wavelength and the input signal pulse width on the generated doublet pulse are simulated and tudied numerically. The results show that when the pulse width of the input signal pulse is larger, the output signal pulse is better, and is insensitive to the change of wavelength. In addition, the ultra-wideband positive and negative monocycles can be generated by choosing suitable optical source power and SOA current.

Methods for Ultra-Wideband Pulse Generation Based on Optical Cross-Polarization Modulation

Optical methods for different type ultra-wideband (UWB) pulse generation based on cross-polarization modulation (CPM) are proposed and demonstrated in this paper. Two polarity-reverse pulses can be obtained by CPM and birefringence time delay to form a monocycle pulse. A semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) is placed after the monocycle pulse process for doublet pulse generation. These two kinds of pulses can be employed in single-band impulse radio UWB (IR-UWB) systems. Two kinds of multi-band UWB pulses can be generated based on monocycle pulse train with proper apodization profiles, realized by hybrid photonic microwave filter and synchronous polarization modulation respectively. Experimental results show that these pulses can be used in multi-band UWB (MB-UWB) over fiber systems.      

All-Optical Ultrawideband Monocycle Generation Using Quadratic Nonlinear Interaction Seeded by Dark Pulses

We propose and demonstrate a new approach to all-optical generation of ultrawideband (UWB) monocycle pulses using the quadratic nonlinear interaction seeded by dark pulses in a periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) waveguide. When feeding two dark optical pulses with proper relative time delay to participate in the sum-frequency generation (SFG) in a PPLN, the parametric depletion effect accomplishes the tailoring of the dark pulse to be a UWB monocycle pulse at a single wavelength. Pairs of polarity-inverted UWB monocycle pulses are generated in the experiment with the central wavelength, 10-dB bandwidth, and fractional bandwidth conforming to the UWB definition by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC, part 15).

We propose a novel ultra-wideband (UWB) triplet signal source based on the cross-gain modulation (XGM) in semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA). In the proposed scheme, only an optical source and two SOAs are needed, so the all-optical structure is compact. A triplet optical pulse with center frequency of 6.25 GHz and fractional bandwidth of 83% is obtained by the scheme. The extinction ratio can be improved by the counter-propagating scheme. The triplet pulse signal with only one wavelength can be easily controlled, and can aviod the dispersion effect. The output triplet pulse signal is insensitive to the light wavelength shifts, its available wavelength range is wide, the dynamic range of the input power is more than 6 dBm, and the bias current of the SOAs is exhibited.

Research of all-optical ultra-wideband triplet signal source based on a single semiconductor optical amplifier

A novel scheme for all-optical ultra-wideband triplet signal pulse generation based on the cross-gain modulation (XGM) in a single semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) is demonstrated. In this scheme, only one optical source and one SOA are needed, so the configuration is simple. Due to only one wavelength is included in the generated triplet pulse, no time difference between output signal light and probe light is introduced during the transmission process.

Gain-transparent SOA-switch for high-bitrate OTDM add/dropmultiplexing

We report on an all-optical interferometric optical time-division multiplexing switch that exhibits high linearity, high-switching contrast, low noise, wide bandwidth, and low crosstalk. The key element of the gain-transparent switch is a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA), which is transparent for the data signal. However, the injection of optical control pulses in the gain wavelength region of the SOA leads to index modulations at the wavelength of the data. This variation of the refractive index can be used for interferometric switching. In the application as add/drop multiplexer, the switch has the inherent advantage of leaving the nonswitched pulses undisturbed     

Ultra-Wideband Pulse Generation Based on Cross-Gain Modulation in Fiber Optical Parametric Amplifier

A novel approach to generate ultra-wideband (UWB) monocycle or doublet pulse using cross-gain modulation in fiber optical parametric amplifier is demonstrated in a single experimental setup. The high-speed optical parametric process realizes the signal amplification, idler generation, and pump depletion simultaneously within femtosecond response time in the highly nonlinear fiber. After the combination of the three lightwaves with a suitable time delay between them, UWB pulse is obtained.
