Performance Enhancement of Multiwavelength Conversion of RZ-DPSK Based on Four-Wave Mixing in Semiconductor Optical Amplifier

In this letter, we propose two methods to enhance the performance of multichannel wavelength conversion of return-to-zero differential phase-shift-keying signal in a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) based on four-wave-mixing effect. The first one is optimizing the relative time delay of the multichannel signal to reduce the crosstalk-induced penalty in SOA. The second one is using the synchronous clock pumping to raise the power of converted signal. The experiment on wavelength conversion of two channels at 10-Gb/s signal showed the power penalty was improved more than 1 dB in the first method and about 1.5 dB in the second method.

Millimeter-Wave Frequency Tripling Based on Four-Wave Mixing in a Semiconductor Optical Amplifier

An approach to generating a frequency-tripled millimeter-wave (mm-wave) signal based on four-wave mixing (FWM) in a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) is experimentally demonstrated. In the proposed system, two phase-correlated optical wavelengths generated by an optical phase-locked loop (OPLL) are used as two pumps to generate the FWM process in the SOA. Two idlers with a wavelength spacing three times that of the two pump wavelengths are obtained. The two pump wavelengths are then removed by two cascaded fiber Bragg gratings serving as an optical notch filter. By beating the two idlers at a photodetector, an mm-wave with a frequency that is three times that of the OPLL reference source is generated

Properties of Optical Phase-Locked Loop Based on Four Wave Mixing in Semiconductor Laser Amplifiers

In this paper, the properties of the optical phase-locked loop(PLL) based on the four-wave mixing in the semiconductor laser amplifiers (SLAs) are discussed. The components that achieve the function of detecting the bit phase of the input optical signal are concerned and discussed in detail together as a function module named as the optical bit phase detector referred to the general electronic PLL. Therefore, most of the properties of the optical PLL can be analyzed by applying the general phase-locked theory. Here the stability of the optical PLL is discussed. It's shown that the variance of input signal power in the practical application will cause optical PLL system unstable because of its long loop delay. The influence on the output phase jitter of the optical PLL is also investigated.     

Theoretical Study on Wavelength Conversion Based on Cross Phase Modulation Using Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers

Performances of wavelength converted signal by cross phase modulation (XPM) using semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOA's) were studied by the use of the multi-section model. Results show that they are related to both the phase arm bias current of the XPM wavelength converter and its operation. When the conversion is under the in-phase operation, the peak extinction ratio (ER) and the chirp frequency of the converted signal increase according to the decrease of the phase arm bias current, but the input signal power dynamic range decreases. When the converter is under the out-of-phase operation, the chirp frequency decreases with the decrease of the phase arm bias current, while the peak ER and the input power dynamic range keep almost the same when the phase arm bias current changes.     

Cavity-Enhanced Four-Wave Mixing in Semiconductor Ring Lasers

We report on cavity-enhanced four-wave mixing (FWM) in 1.55-mum semiconductor ring lasers (SRLs). External optical injection into one of the cavity modes of the ring laser induces a FWM signal up to detuning frequencies of 1.5 THz. Mode-locked signals at 34.5 GHz with a linewidth as small as 5 kHz were measured. Initial results show similar characteristics with a distributed feedback laser monolithically integrated next to the SRL.

在入射脉冲为啁啾高斯脉冲条件下,考虑到各信道内比特序列初始相位和比特模式的随机性,建立了啁啾高斯脉冲色散管理波分复用系统中的简并四波混频噪声的半解析理论计算模型。并详细推导了啁啾高斯脉冲在色散管理光纤链路中的脉冲振幅表达式。色散图由两段群速度色散绝对值大小相等、符号相反且长度可变的光纤构成。通过对此模型仿真计算得到：脉冲特征宽度对 FWM 噪声标准差的影响比较明显,FWM 噪声标准差值随脉冲特征宽度的增加而增加;当脉冲特征宽度较小时,啁啾参数值对 FWM 效应产生较大的影响,优化啁啾参数值可进一步降低 FWM 噪声标准差值;优化的色散管理方案可以使得噪声标准差有较小的值;对局部群速度色散系数绝对值进行优化,可得到较小噪声标准差值。

Mean Relative Intensity Noise Transfer in Fiber Raman Amplifiers Using Multiple-Wavelength Pumps

We present a numerical analysis of mean relative intensity noise (RIN) transfer in a fiber Raman amplifier (FRA) using multiple-wavelength pumps. For the first time, the RIN transfer is investigated to include pump-to-pump and signal-to-signal RIN transfers, together with the ldquotraditionalrdquo pump, to signal transfer in a multiple-wavelength pumped FRA. We show that for a multiple-wavelength pumped FRA, pump-to-pump and signal-to-signal RIN transfers induce an increase of RIN transfer magnitude. For a multiple-wavelength counter pumped FRA, in additional to the major pump to signal RIN transfer, pump-to-pump RIN transfer is considerable, and signal-to-signal RIN transfer is very small. For a multiple-wavelength co-pumped FRA, both pump-to-pump and signal-to-signal RIN transfers increase RIN transfer magnitude significantly. In addition, for both a co- and counter pumped FRAs, particularly for the co-pumped FRA, the longer wavelength signals experience more RIN transfer than the shorter wavelength signals. Furthermore, the bandwidth of RIN transfer is significantly increased in a multiple-wavelength co-pumped FRA with multiple input signals compared to a single-wavelength co-pumped FRA with an input signal.
