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. By using the software of Optisystem 7.0, the impacts of the input signal width, the optical power and the wavelength of the optical source on the generated triplet pulse are numerically simulated and studied. The results show that the proposed scheme has better triplet signal pulse when the input signal pulse width is larger, and it is insensitive to the wavelength change within a certain range.

The authors present a novel scheme of up-converting optical intermediate frequency (IF) signals with an optical local oscillator (LO) signal using cross-gain modulation in a semiconductor optical amplifier. This scheme provides high conversion efficiency and is independent of the incident light wavelength and polarization. It can be useful for radio-on-fiber transmission system applications in which one remote LO signal is provided for several wavelength-division-multiplexing IF signals.     

Optical transient waveform monitoring based on cross-gain modulation in semiconductor optical amplifier

An all-optical transient waveform equivalent time sampling system based on cross-gain modulation(XGM) in semiconductor optical amplifier(SOA) is presented.A noisy SOA dynamic model and PIN equivalent circuit function are employed for system evaluating.The results show this SOA-XGM sampler with subtracting postprocessing can achieve picosecond sampling window.The shape of sampling window can be adjusted by SOA bias current and amplitude of control pulse.Compared with amplified spontaneous emission(ASE) noise of SOA and thermal noise in PIN,the jitter of sampling control pulse causes most sampling error.Simulations show that this SOA-XGM sampler can be a capable candidate for transient waveform sampling.

Generation of an ultra-wideband triplet signal based on semiconductor optical amplifier

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.

Wavelength conversion based on cross-gain saturation in a semiconductor optical amplifier is studied from the viewpoint of how fluctuation in the input signal is transferred to the converted signal. Experiments in which a signal light with amplifier ASE noise is converted show that fluctuation in the "on"-level is suppressed while fluctuation in the "off"-level is enhanced due to the in/out relation of the converter.
