“…It demonstrates the reasonably linearity of the proposed o-Sampler to carry out the sampling process. The optical components required to set-up the circuit shown in Figure 2 are similar of those used in an optical sampler based on the nonlinear polarisation rotation [15,16]. In the present fibre-based scheme, none polarisationdiscriminator device is needed and only a single PC is required to set P T = 0 mW for P C = 0 mW.…”

In this paper it is proposed and designed an alloptical Sampler (o-Sampler) intended to be part of future optical Digitising Radio-over-Fibre (o-DRoF) transceivers. It is based on the Semiconductor Laser Amplifier Loop Mirror (SLALOM) configuration thus using the nonlinearities of a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) in cross-switching regime. The proof-ofprinciple is established by computer simulations using 500 MHz analogue signal and 2.5 GS/s sampling pulses both in the C-band. The proposed o-Sampler outputs real-time generated optical samples from an analogue RoF signal. The simulated device is rather compact, polarisation independent, potentially optically integrable and requires few mW of sampling peak power.

“…Most of these methods are based on the nonlinear interaction among a train of ultrashort high-power pulses and the original signal, thus requiring an external mode locked picosecond pulse source. The basic physical phenomena involved in these interactions include four-wave mixing [5], cross-phase modulation (XPM) [6], nonlinear polarization rotation [8] or Raman soliton self-frequency shift [9].…”

In this work, we exploit the space/time duality in optics to implement a temporal lenticular lens allowing to simultaneously sample and magnify an arbitrary-shaped optical signal. More specifically, by applying a sinusoidal phase-modulation, the signal under test is propagated through a discrete dispersive element that samples and magnifies its initial waveform. Thanks to this temporal lenticular lens, optical sampling associated to a magnification factor of 3.6 is experimentally demonstrated at a repetition rate of 10 GHz.

“…Nonlinearities such as four-wave mixing or cross-phase modulation in semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOA) or nonlinear fibers have been used to implement all-optical sampling functionality [4,5]. Recently, we have reported a novel all-optical sampling scheme based on the nonlinear polarization rotation in SOA, in which a sampling pulse train and an analog optical signal to be sampled are simultaneously injected into the SOA as the probe light and the pump light, respectively [6]. The pump light controls the probe light through nonlinear polarization rotation arising in SOA.…”

A novel method for full characterizing nonlinear distortion of all‐optical sampling is proposed based on polynomial transfer function.The method only requires fitting transfer curve with a polynomial function and enables a uniform expression of nonlinear distortion in terms of polynomial coefficients and input parameters. Simulation and experiment are designed and performed to check the accuracy. The results with our method are in good agreement with the measurement. Our method avoids both Fourier expansion and spectrum measurement, which is suitable for fast evaluating and optimizing distortion of all‐optical sampling. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
