This invaluable book provides a comprehensive treatment of design and applications of
semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOA). SOA is an important component for optical …

We present a 1× 2 all-optical packet switch. All the processing of the header information is
carried out in the optical domain. The optical headers are recognized by employing the two …

Photonic packet switches offer high speed, data rate and format transparency, and flexibility
required by future computer communications and cell-based telecommunications networks …

The Information Society Technologies-all-optical LAbel SwApping employing optical logic
Gates in NEtwork nodes (IST-LASAGNE) project aims at designing and implementing the …

We present ultrafast slotted optical time-division multiplexed networks as a viable means of
implementing a highly capable next-generation all-optical packet-switched network. Such a …

We investigate nonlinear carrier dynamics in a multiquantum-well semiconductor optical
amplifier (SOA) in the context of ultrafast all-optical logic. A rate-equation model is presented …

We demonstrate 40-Gbit/s all-optical bitwise inversion and wavelength conversion, using an
ultrafast nonlinear interferometer. This device uses optically induced gain and index …

Doppler reflectometry spatial and wavenumber resolution is analysed within the framework
of the linear Born approximation in the slab plasma model. An explicit expression for its …

An all-optical neural network is presented that is based on coupled lasers. Each laser in the
network lases at a distinct wavelength, representing one neuron. The network status is …

A novel scheme for all-optical packet header processing is proposed. The highly scalable
photonic-integrated architecture is comprised of cascaded SOA-based Mach-Zehnder …
