We demonstrate an ultra-dense wavelength-division- multiplexed (UD-WDM) passive optical network (PON) where 12.5-GHz spaced 1 GbE ${\times}$ 256 optical channels are distributed using 12.5- and 200-GHz arrayed waveguide gratings in series. For the generation of upstream signals, we use reflective semiconductor optical amplifiers. We use two optical fiber amplifiers at the optical line terminal to amplify downstream and upstream channels.

In this paper, we theoretically demonstrate that semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) with strong wavelength dependence of gain and phase are capable of all-optical inverted and non-inverted wavelength conversion (WC) over a wide range, with the assistance of an optical filter. First, the gain dynamics and phase dynamics in a common quantum well (QW) SOA with the $In_{0.53}Ga_{0.47}As/In_{0.7322}Ga_{0.2678}As_{0.5810}P_{0.4190}$ material system are found to be strongly dependent on wavelength, which is mainly related to the wavelength dependence of the differential gain and the differential refractive-index change. Second, the wavelength dependence in an all-optical wavelength converter based on the QW SOA cascaded with a detuning band pass filter is studied. Simulations show that the quality of the converted signal has little dependence on the operation wavelength. Both inverted and non-inverted WC can be achieved, over a large wavelength range. Therefore, although the gain and phase change are strongly wavelength-dependent, the effects of this dependence can be erased by appropriate optical filtering.

선광(all-optical) OR 논리소자가 반도체 광증폭기 (SOA)의 이득포화와 파장변환 특성을 이용하여 구현되었다. 전광(all-optical) OR 논리소자는 이득의 비선형성에 의해 동작되므로 SOA의 이득포화를 충분히 얻기 위해 펌프신호는 SOA의 입력단에서 어븀 첨가 광섬유 증복기(EDFA)에 의해 증폭되었다. 전광 OR논리소자의 동작특성은 2.5 Gbit/s에서 성공적으로 측정되었다.

We propose a filter-free wavelength conversion using a Mach-Zehnder interferometer with monolithically integrated $2{\times}2$ multimode interference semiconductor optical amplifiers (MMI-SOAs). The device has been optimized by considering a non-homogeneous carrier distribution due to the self-imaging properties of the MMI-SOA. Static measurements show an extinction ratio of up to 18 dB and an input signal rejection ratio of up to 20 dB.

반도체 광증폭기의 이득포화원리를 이용한 전광 AND논리소자가 10 Gb/s에서 처음으로 구현되었다. 먼저 첫 번째 반도체 광증폭기에 B 신호를 입력시켜 반전된 신호인 Boolean (equation omitted)이 얻어졌다. 이와 같이 반전된 신호는 두 번째 반도체 광증폭기에 A신호와 함께 동시 입력되어 AND논리소자의 특성이 얻어졌다.

The impact of the amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) on the gain recovery time of a bulk semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) is investigated. The gain-recovery time is obtained by determining the time evolution of the gain, carrier density, and ASE in an SOA, after the propagation of a short pump pulse and continuous-wave (CW) probe of gain dynamics. In the simulation, a wide-band-semiconductor model, which can be characterized by the material gain coefficient over a wide wavelength range, is used, because the gain bandwidth of a practical SOA is very wide. The pump pulse and counterpropagating CW probe field are considered in the simulation, with the ASE noise spectrum equally divided.

A novel WDM-PON system delivering bidirectional 1.25-Gbps data and broadcasting data is proposed. A subcarrier signal modulates optical carriers of a Fabry-Perot-laser-diode based broadband light source to broadcast to all users. Reflective semiconductor optical amplifiers are used as modulators for the baseband data at both the optical line terminal and the remote optical network unit for a channel. Bit error rate and error vector magnitude were measured to demonstrate the proposed scheme.
