“…First reports of optically controlled SOAgates were made in [3] and [4]. In both cases, cross-gain modulation (XGM) was explored: The input signal is used to saturate the gain and thereby modulate a CW signal (probe) at the desired output wavelength.…”

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.

“…Therefore, all-optical converters are highly interesting. Promising techniques relying on four-wave mixing (FWM) in fibers and semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOA's) [7]- [10], optical modulation of lasers [11]- [19], cross-gain modulation (XGM) and cross-phase modulation (XPM) in SOA's [20]- [37] have been reported. Difference frequency generation in periodic waveguide structures of LiNbO [38] or AlGaAs [39] has also been investigated.…”
