In this study, the gain characteristics of the strained structures for SOA were calculated numerically and the optimized strained quantum well for the polarization-insensitive SOA was obtained. The structures used in this calculation were consisted of one, two, and three GaAs Delta layers respectively in the GaInAs(160 $\AA$) well. Moreover the third one was calculated by changing from one mono-layer to three mono-layers in the thichless of GaAs delta layers. This structure enhances the TM mode gain coefficient with good efficiency because the light-hole band is lifted up whereas the heavy-hole band is lowered down. Additionally, The structure of the 3 GaAs delta layers(1 mono layer thickness) shows 3dB gain bandwidth of 85nm in 1.55um wavelength system. This study is expected to be used in making a wide band and polarization-independent semiconductor optical amplifier practically.

An all-optical encryption system built on the basis of electrical logic circuit design principles is proposed, using semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) exclusive or (XOR) logic gates. Numerical techniques (steady-state and dynamic) were employed in a sequential manner to optimize the system parameters, speeding up the overall design process. The results from both numerical and experimental testbeds show that the encoding/decoding of the optical signal can be achieved at a 10 Gbps data rate with a conventional SOA cascade without serious degradation in the data quality.

In this paper, a new wavelength converter using an SOA(Semiconductor Optical Amplifier)-loop-mirror for NRZ(NonReturn to Zero) optical data has been proposed and experimentally demonstrated. Conventional nonlinear fiber-loop-mirror methods can perform RZ-to-RZ, NRZ-to-RZ, and RZ-to-NRZ data format conversion, but NRZ-to-NRZ conversion has not been demonstrated until now. The experiment for the conversion from a 1300 nm NRZ data signal at 1.5 Gbps to a 1550 nm NRZ data one is successfully performed using a fiber-loop-mirror with 1300 nm-SOA.

파장 분할 다중 방식을 사용하는 모든 전광 통신망은 파장 재사용과 routing를 위해 반드시 파장 변환기를 필요로 한다. 본 논문에서는 반도체 광 증폭기와 반도체 레이저를 수평 결합시킨 새로운 구조를 제안함으로써 기존의 파장 변환기가 가졌던 문제점들을[1][2][3] 해결하고자 한다. 두개의 모드가 약하게 결합되었을 때는 그 파의 크기나 전파상수는 서로 영향을 미치게 된다. 예를 들면 수평결합 파장가변 LD[4]나 방향성 결합 파장 변환기[5]는 이 특성을 이용한 소자이다. 본 논문에서 제안된 소자도 이러한 결합모드 특성을 이용하였다.

All-optical data extraction, one of the key technologies for all-optical computing and optical communication to perform add-drop, packet switching, and data reset, etc., is experimentally demonstrated by using cross-gain modulation (XGM) of semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs). Also, all-optical data extraction based on numerical simulation is performed by using the VPI simulation tool. In this paper, the suggested optical system based on SOAs shows the potential for high speed, and highly integrable and low power optical data computing.
