Abstract-Semiconductor optical amplifiers are useful building blocks for all-optical gates as wavelength converters and OTDM demultiplexers. This paper reviews the progress from simple gates using cross-gain modulation and four-wave mixing to the integrated interferometric gates using cross-phase modulation. These gates are very efficient for high-speed signal processing and will open up interesting new areas, such as all-optical regeneration and high-speed all-optical logic functions.Index Terms-Add/drop multiplexer, optical gate, optical processing, semiconductor optical amplifier, wavelength converter.

“…ANY DEVICES for all-optical signal processing, such as regenerators and wavelength converters, are based on the nonlinear saturation characteristics of semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) [1]- [3]. The noise reduction in a saturated SOA is also used in, for example, spectrum sliced wavelength-division-multiplexing systems [4].…”

“…4). Wavelength converters are often desired in the OXC to make the network management much easier, to reduce the blocking probability and because of their signal regeneration and noise reduction capabilities [49], [50], [53]. The drawback of the wavelength converter is the price and the higher complexity of the system.…”

Abstract-This paper presents the results of a crosstalk analysis of four optical wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) cross-connect (OXC) topologies. An optimal set of parameters is determined to reduce the total crosstalk. The scalability of the topologies is presented in terms of wavelengths and input fibers. The total crosstalk in function of the number of cascaded OXC's is compared for the four topologies.Index Terms-Optical communication, optical crosstalk, optical cross connect (OXC), optical switches, optical wavelength conversion, wavelength division multiplexing (WDM).
