“…A high optical signal-to-noise ratio is achieved by fully saturating the SOA's after preamplifying the input channels 21 with high-gain polarization-maintaining erbium-doped fiber amplifiers. The birefringent element is prepared by splicing the principal axes of a polarization-maintaining bow-tie fiber at an angle of 45°o n both sides with respect to the principal axes of polarization-maintaining Panda fiber used in the rest of the setup.…”

All-optical logic circuits based on the polarization properties of nondegenerate four-wave mixing are proposed. Schemes to perform multiple triple-product logic functions are discussed, and it is shown that higher-level Boolean operations that involve several bits can be implemented without resorting to the standard two-input gates. As a simple illustration of the idea, a circuit that performs error correction on a (3,1) Hamming code is demonstrated. Error-free performance (bit error rate of Ͻ10 Ϫ9 ) at 2.5 Gbit/s is achieved after single-error correction on the Hamming word with 50% errors.

“…The assisted beam, which was used to saturate the SOA, can improve the conversion efficiency and signal to-background ratio. D'Ottavi et al [9] proved that the use of a long SOA could improve the performance of the conversion at a data rate of 10 Gb/s. M. A. Summerfield [6] reported bit-error-rate measurements which show that there is a trade-off between maximizing the output SNR and minimizing intersymbol interference in the SOA.…”

All optical wavelength converters are key devices for all optical networks. Wavelength conversion employing semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) has become an important component in WDM networks. This paper investigates the performance of a 20 Gb/s SOA-based FWM wavelength converter system. For this we have optimized the SOA parameters to achieve adequate quality factor and enhancement in four wave mixing effect so as to improve the converted signal power. This will be done in such a manner that the SOA never saturates and generate maximum four-wave mixing signals with minimum gain fluctuations. Performance is analyzed in terms of converted signal power, converted optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) and Q factor for both up and down conversions with respect to wavelength shifted up to 10nm. It was found that the conversion efficiency and OSNR of the converted signal are 1dB and 45 dBm resp.

“…For example D'Ottavi et al [13] proved that use of a long SOA could improve the performance of the conversion at a data rate of 10 Gb/s. Also, Hsu et al [14] claimed that higher number conversion efficiency and wider conversion range can be achieved by applying an assisted holding beam into the SOA.…”

Abstract. Wavelength converter plays an important role for increasing the capacity and flexibility of future broadcast network. This paper investigates the performance of a 10Gb/s the SOA based FWM wavelength converter. All performances are analyzed in terms of its shifted wavelength conversion efficiency, Q-factors and converted signal powers. The converters are modeled and simulated using Optisystem7 Software, by varying the probe signal wavelength and power. It was found that conversion efficiency and OSNR of the converted signal both decreased at large detuning wavelengths. Similarly, higher total SOA input powers worsened the conversion efficiency, but steadily improved the OSNR. FWM wavelength converter had the lowest conversion efficiency for CW sources.
