Conventional ON-OFF keyed modulation format is susceptible to cross-gain modulation in
saturated semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) that leads to crosstalk penalty for dense …

Conventional on-off keyed signals, such as return-to-zero (RZ) and nonreturn-to-zero (NRZ)
signals are susceptible to cross-gain modulation (XGM) in semiconductor optical amplifiers …

A new optical packet switching network and its enabling technologies are investigated for
implementation in a Petaflops scale supercomputer system. We capitalize on the immense …

We compare the output spectra and data streams of a conventional 1550-nm semiconductor
optical amplifier (SOA) with its gain-clamped (GCSOA) counterpart, in order to assess the …

Both wavelength bistability (WB) and multiple bistability (MB) were predicted theoretically by
Adams' model in resonant optical amplifiers. We report here, for the first time to our …

We evaluate the inter-channel crosstalk in a semiconductor optical amplifier when injecting
a high optical power continuous wave, as assist light, inside its active region around the gain …

There has been an almost exponential growth in the deployment and capacity of optical fibre
communication networks over the past twenty-five years [1], made possible mainly by the …

We have directly measured, under operating conditions, the distributions of carrier densities
and temperatures in a gain-clamped semiconductor optical amplifier designed for operation …

All-optical switching based on wavelength conversion using cross-gain modulation (XGM)
effect of semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) has been proposed and demonstrated for 10 …

The work in this thesis describes an approach to suppressing cavity resonances in
Travelling-Wave Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers (TW-SOA) by application of a single layer …
