Impact of Pump-Probe Time Delay on the Four Wave Mixing Conversion Efficiency in Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers

Optical Communications Systems

“…The analyses of FWM in SOAs between short optical pulses have been widely reported Xie et al, 1999;Tang & Shore, 1999a;Tang & Shore, 1999b;Das et al, 2000). The FWM conversion efficiency Xie et al, 1999;Tang & Shore, 1999a; the chirp of mixing pulses (Tang & Shore, 1999b;Das et al, 2000), and the pump-probe time delay dependency of the FWM conversion efficiency Das et al, 2007;Das et al, 2011) have been reported. On the contrary, however, there are only a few reports on analyses of FWM in SOAs used for demultiplexing time-division multiplexed data streams at ultra-high bit rates.…”
