ABSTRACT:The performance of ultrafast all-optical demultiplexer using quantum-dot semiconductor optical amplifiers (QD-SOAs) assisted Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) is analyzed. Through numerical simulations, a set of key parameters are optimized and all-optical demultiplexing from 160/320 Gbit/s to 40 Gbit/s can be realized with fairly high performance. The results are useful for the system performance studies and practical application.

“…All-optical wavelength converter (AOWC) is a crucial part to achieve decentralized wavelength management, enhance wavelength routing capabilities, avoid wavelength blocking, increase flexibility and utilization of wavelength allocation, and improve network reconfiguration in the future high-speed highcapacity all-optical communication systems [4][5] [6][7] [8] . Several methods for achieving all-optical wavelength conversion have been demonstrated based on cross-gain modulation (XGM) [9] , cross-phase modulation (XPM) [10] , four-wave mixing (FWM) [11] and cross polarization modulation (XPolM) [12] etc. There are mainly three kinds of media for AOWC, such as semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) [13] , passive waveguide [14] and non-linear fiber [15] .…”

A novel architecture of all-optical wavelength conversion in a highly nonlinear bismuth oxide-based photonic crystal fiber (PCF) is demonstrated. Self-phase modulation is utilized to induce spectral broadening for the all-optical wavelength converter. A recirculating configuration is designed to obtain the twice spectral broadening. Therefore, wavelength conversion is achieved. The design and the simulation of PCF are demonstrated. The desired dispersion properties can be tailored by the parameters of bismuth oxide (Bi 2 O 3 ) PCF microstructure. The propagation loss at 1550nm is about 0.8dB/m. The simulation results of PCF indicate the relationship of the effective index of the fundamental mode, the mode effective area and the holes pitch of PCF. The nonlinear coefficient is expected to be 1100W -1 km -1 by using bismuth oxide-based glass and reducing the effective core area. The mode-field diameter of PCF is estimated to be 1.98 m and the predicted small effective core area is 3.3 m 2 . The design of Bi 2 O 3 -based PCF and the intermediate high numerical aperture fibers between Bi 2 O 3 -based PCF and single-mode fibers are considered to reduce the splicing loss. The obtained results show that the wavelength converter has a potential of wide conversion bandwidth, high response time, simple configuration and low insertion loss etc.
