Demonstration of four wave mixing in an integrated pump laser and semiconductor optical amplifier for midspan spectral inversion dispersion compensation

摘要

In conclusion, for the first time, an integrated DFB/SOA laser has been shown to operate as an MSSI dispersion compensator via NDFWM with a 10 GHz pulse train and 2.5 Gb/s data. Although the former does show some degradation, it is believed that further optimisation of the device (such as reduced DFB linewidth) will lead to far superior performance. A full bit error rate analysis and results at 10 Gb/s will be presented at the conference.
