Wavelength conversion for polarization multiplexing signal using four-wave mixing in semiconductor optical amplifier with reduced polarization crosstalk," Opt. Eng. 55(6), 066118 (2016), Abstract. We investigated wavelength conversion for polarization multiplexing signal based on four-wave mixing in a semiconductor optical amplifier. We found that the converted signals endured crosstalk among the polmuxed channels. We also proposed and demonstrated a wavelength conversion scheme with polarization diversity technique. By utilizing the technique, the converted polarization multiplexing signal can be received without crosstalk. In addition, the performance of the proposed system is numerically analyzed with respect to the bit error rate of the converted signal, different frequency spacing between signal and pump and modulated data rate. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme may be a promising method to realize transparent wavelength conversion for polarization multiplexing signals.

A theoretical model of the refractive index changes of the TE and TM modes in an electro-absorption modulator (EAM) is deduced. The photon absorption and refractive index changes are analyzed numerically. The influence of pump intensity on the phase difference between the TE and TM modes is studied. The polarization rotation effect is obtained in the EAM, and a novel all-optical fiber loop buffer is designed.

This article overviews the fundamental principles and attributes of the major all‐optical signal wavelength conversion (AOWC) methods commonly found in the literature over the last 25 years from the system perspective, which are oriented mainly for telecommunications applications. Two principal AOWC categories are analyzed: first, the optically controlled gates based on semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) or electroabsorption modulators (EAMs) and second, the wave‐mixing AOWC schemes exploiting χ (3) or χ (2) material nonlinearities. In the case of the SOA‐based gates, the effects of cross gain modulation (XGM) and cross phase modulation (XPM) – with or without the employment of the offset filtering technique – are explained and a brief description of the regenerative schemes with SOA‐MZI (Mach‐Zehnder interferometer) switches is attempted. For the case of EAM‐based gates, both XAM and XPM effects are mentioned, utilized for efficient AOWC of intensity‐modulated signals. The wave‐mixing methods, covered in Section 2 of the article, start with the four wave mixing (FWM) effect on χ (3) materials, describing methods to implement polarization insensitive operation. Special attention on the AOWC of advanced modulation formats is attempted by explaining methods on minimizing the phase noise induced on the conversion process. For AOWC on χ (2) , materials the fundamental effects of difference frequency generation (DFG), sum frequency generation (SFG), and sum harmonic generation (SHG) are explained. In addition, particular focus is put on the attributes and the wavelength mapping of the cascaded cSFG/DFG and cSHG/DFG processes utilized in most AOWC‐schemes based on χ (2) nonlinearities.
