Abstract

Wavelength conversion by four-wave mixing (FWM) in semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) has several advantages, including transparency to the modulation format and bit rate. An important feature of the intensity and polarization of the FWM wavelength-converted signal is their dependence on the polarizations of the input signal and pump waves. In this paper, we discuss the polarization properties of the FWM susceptibility χijkl of strained multiple quantum well SO As and their potential for application to polarization-independent wavelength conversion and pump suppression.
