“…The extinction ratio of the input signals was assumed to be 10 dB. The parameter values were taken from the literature on other QD-SOA-based interferometric gates [19][20][21][22]. These are: In order to assess the performance of an optical logic design, the most important parameters are extinction ratio, amplitude modulation, quality factor, pseudo-eye diagram, and relative eye opening, which we will investigate.…”

“…SOA with quantum-dot active region is a promising candidate for ultrafast operations [14][15]. The high output power, low threshold current density, ultra-fast response behavior, good temperature stability, and low noise level of the quantum-dot SOA (QD-SOA) have been demonstrated, and it has been emphasized that these elements can be utilized as building blocks of alloptical systems [17][18][19]. In this paper, using two QD-SOA MZI, we design a subtractor that can operate and perform well at speeds of over 250 Gb/s.…”

This paper presents the simulation and design of an all-optical subtractor using a quantum-dot semiconductor optical amplifier Mach-Zehnder interferometer (QD-SOA MZI) structure consisting of two cascaded switches, the first of which produces the differential bit. Then the second switch produces the borrow bit by using the output of the first switch and the subtrahend data stream. Simulation results were obtained by solving the rate equations of the QD-SOA. The effects of QD-SOA length, peak power and current density have been investigated. The designed gate can operate at speeds of over 250 Gb/s. The simulation results demonstrate a high extinction ratio and a clear and wide-opening eye diagram.

“…Both theoretical and experimental studies have proven the unique capabilities of these devices. Ultrafast gain recovery [14], low noise gure of 3.5 dB [5], high saturated output power [57], pattern-eect free XGM--based wavelength conversion up to 160 Gbits/s [8], and capability of operation at Tbits/s speeds in presence of a control signal [9] are among these capabilities.…”

“…Theoretical studies have proven distinctive superiorities of optically pumped QD-SOAs (OP-QDSOAs) over their conventional counterparts, i.e. EP-QDSOAs [9,10]. Based on these studies, the gain and phase recovery time in an OP-QDSOA can be much less than that in an EP-QDSOA.…”

In this paper, optimal design of a pumping scheme for achieving the best gain and phase response in quntum--dot semiconductor optical ampliers is investigated. For the rst time, the dynamic response of the quntum-dot semiconductor optical amplier is evaluated under three dierent pumping schemes, known as optical pumping, electrical pumping, and electro-optical pumping. Simulation results show that the shortest gain recovery time in quntum-dot semiconductor optical ampliers can be achieved under the electrical pumping scheme. However, under the optical pumping and electro-optical pumping schemes, the quntum-dot semiconductor optical amplier represents a shorter phase recovery compared to the electrical pumping scheme. We found that a sub-nanosecond phase recovery in the quntum-dot semiconductor optical amplier can be achieved under the OP and electro--optical pumping schemes, which can never be achieved under the electrical pumping, because of the slow carrier dynamics of the carrier reservoir. Also, it was found that the gain recovery process in an optically pumped quntum-dot semiconductor optical amplier can be signicantly accelerated at cryogenic temperatures. This result demonstrates the superiorities of the optical pumping scheme over the electrical pumping and electro-optical pumping schemes at low temperatures, where both the gain and phase recovery times of an optically pumped quantum-dot semiconductor optical amplier are drastically decreased.

SUMMARY In this article, quantum‐dot semiconductor optical amplifiers (QD‐SOAs) have been modelled using state space method. To derive this model, we have manipulated the rate equation model of the QD‐SOA, where the average values of the occupation probabilities along the QD‐SOA cavity are considered as the state variables of the system. Using these variables, the distance dependence of the rate equations is eliminated. The derived state space model gives the optical gain and output signal of the amplifier with a high accuracy. Simulation results show that the derived model is not only much simpler and faster than conventional rate equation models, but also the optical gain and output signal of the investigated QD‐SOA are calculated with a higher precision compared to the rate equation model.
