Optimal spectral and power parameters for all-optical wavelength shifting

Abstract

In a large optical network implementing wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM), wavelengths must be reused, requiring switching of a signal from one wavelength to another. Recent work has used the rapid carrier lifetime of a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) to shift a signal’s wavelength all-optically.1-3 The mechanism relies on an intense modulated pump signal on one wavelength causing significant inverse modulation of the SOA gain, thereby transferring the modulation to a concurrently input cw probe signal at another wavelength.
