“…SOA gates exhibiting optical bistability have also been realized using SOAs or laser diodes with higher facet reflectivities, e.g., [27], [28]. The bistability is a result of the interaction between the gain and index variations in the resulting cavity.…”

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.

“…Among others, the bistable properties exhibited by laser diode amplifiers have been used for the development of optical logic gates [2][3][4], flip-flops [5][6][7], optical signal regeneration [8,9], wavelength conversion [9,10] etc. Together with these applications, semiconductor laser amplifiers have also attracted attention for their potential use to perform optical switching between two simultaneously injected optical signals and its application in optical telecommunication networks.…”

Switching of a signal beam by another control beam at different wavelength is demonstrated experimentally using the optical bistability occurring in a 1.55 |Jim-distributed feedback semiconductor optical amplifier (DFBSOA) working in reflection. Counterclockwise (S-shaped) and reverse (clockwise) bistability are observed in the output of the control and the signal beam respectively, as the power of the input control signal is increased. With this technique an optical signal can be set in either of the optical input wavelengths by appropriate choice of the powers of the input signals. The switching properties of the DFBSOA are studied experimentally as the applied bias current is increased from below to above threshold and for different levels of optical power in the signal beam and different wavelength detunings between both input signals. Higher on-off extinction ratios, wider bistable loops and lower input power requirements for switching are obtained when the DFBSOA is operated slightly above its threshold value.

“…The key properties for a good all-optical regenerator are high-speed operation combined with a steep decision characteristic. Several regeneration schemes have already been proposed [1,2]. Most of them are based on the use of semiconductor optical amplifiers based interferometric set-ups.…”
