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.     

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.

Increasing input power dynamic range of SOA by shifting thetransparent wavelength of tunable optical filter

Gain-saturation-induced self-phase modulation (SPM) leading to pulse distortion in a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) is overcome by shifting a tunable optical filter (TOF). A recovered or broadened pulse can be obtained after filtering the amplified pulse in the SOA even if the short pulse is only 2-3 ps long. The input power dynamic range (IPDR) can be strongly increased by shifting the TOF and the direction of the shifted transparent wavelength is different for 10 Gb/s return-to-zero (RZ) or nonreturn-to-zero (NRZ) signals. The transparent wavelength of the TOF should be shifted to a longer wavelength for RZ signals and to a shorter for NRZ signals. 80-Gb/s optical time division multiplexing (OTDM) signal amplification in the SOA is demonstrated for the first time. We also demonstrate that a large IPDR for the 80-Gb/s OTDM signal can be obtained by shifting the TOF

Multiple ultra-wideband signal sources exploiting XPM in SFRL

A novel scheme for all-optical broadcast ultra-wideband (UWB) monocycle pulses generation based on cross-phase modulation (XPM) in semiconductor fiber ring laser (SFRL) is proposed, in which three UWB positive or negative monocycle pulses can be generated simultaneously. A comprehensive broad-band dynamic model for this kind of all-optical broadcast UWB monocycle sources is established, which is further applied to numerically analyze the impacts of injection current of semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA), the power and wavelength of the signal light on the performance of the UWB positive monocycle pulses with higher power spectral density. The results show that the spectra of the UWB positive and negative monocycle pulses generated by this scheme match the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) definition quite well. Three UWB positive monocycle pulses with better performance can be obtained when the power of signal light is at a high level, and three other UWB positive monocycle pulses with good tolerance to both the injection current of the SOA and the wavelength of the signal light can be obtained. In addition, the powers of the lasing light coupled into the SFRL should not be strong to obtain three UWB positive monocycle pulses with better performance.

Optical UWB doublet pulse generation using multiple nonlinearities of single SOA

All-optical ultra-wideband (UWB) doublet pulse generation based on the multiple nonlinear effects of a single semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) is demonstrated. First, a monocycle pulse is obtained by means of cross-gain modulation and self gain-saturation in the SOA, and a Gaussian pulse at conjugated light is obtained using four-wave mixing of the SOA. Secondly, the Gaussian pulse at the conjugated light is combined with the monocycle pulse by proper time delay to form a doublet pulse. The central frequency and 10 dB bandwidth of the doublet radio frequency are 5 and 6.25 GHz, respectively. The scheme is simple since only a single SOA is required.
