Multidimensional Multiwavelength Circuit/ Switching using Wavelength ConversionVia Four Wave Mixing (FWM) in Semiconductor Optical

摘要

The objective of this program is to investigate multichannel, multiwavelengthswitching via four wave mixing in semiconductor optical amplifiers. We have successfully demonstrated and modeled two channel switching within a single amplifier for the first time. Bit error rate and power penalty measurements are reported as well as techniques to increase channel capacity using Gain Clamping Technique.
