All-Optical Switching using Gain-Transparent Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We report on all-optical switches for high speed optical communication systems based on semiconductor optical amplifiers in an interferometric configuration, whereby the photon energy of the switched data signal is below the band gap energy.
