Abstract:During the last few years, large-scale efforts towards realizing high-photonic integration densities have put SO"s in the spotlight once again. Hence, the need to develop a complete framework for SO"-induced signal distortion to accurately evaluate a system's performance has now become evident. To cope with this demand, we present a detailed theoretical and experimental investigation of the deterministic timing jitter and the pulse peak power equalization of SO"-amplified intensity-modulated optical pulses.

“…The reduced performance of the SR-FF in terms of ER stems from the degraded SOA performance at 10Gb/s. In addition, employing the SOA to produce the required threelevel input signal at 10Gb/s leads to the appearance of severe pattern effects [43] in the three-level SR-FF input signal that are imprinted -among other-as jitter variation at the output signal of the SR-FF. As a result the input signal injected to the PhC nanocavity laser at 10Gb/s is of poorer quality compared to the input signals at 5Gb/s, hindering in this way the error-free performance of the SR-FF.…”
