We demonstrate wavelength conversion of 2.5 Gb/s optical signals by cross-gain modulation (XGM) in a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA). We investigate the effect of input pump and probe powers on the extinction ratio and power penalty to be a measure of performance in wavelength converters. As a result, we show that the best bit error rate (BER) performance can be obtained when the probe power is kept 3 dB weaker than the pump power. And we investigate the effect of wavelength detuning on performance in wavelength converters.

Wavelength converting devices with a ridge-type waveguide in periodically poled $MgO:LiNbO_3$ are made and characterized. The experimental results are compared with theoretical analysis on the effects of waveguide dimension and duty ratio of the periodically poled structure. To show the relationship of the conversion efficiency to those factors, a new measurement system is configured. That experimental results show that the center wavelength, normalized conversion efficiency and full width half maximum of the conversion efficiency curve are 1067.45 nm, 90.7%/$Wcm^2$ and 0.17 nm, respectively. Also, the estimated results of the duty period and full width half maximum of the conversion efficiency from theoretical calculations agreed well with experimental results with the errors of 0.016 ${\mu}m$ and 0.01 nm.

We report an experimental demonstration of 40 Gbps all-optical 3R regeneration with all-optical clock recovery based on InP semiconductor devices. We also obtain alloptical non-return-to-zero to return-to-zero (NRZ-to-RZ) format conversion using the recovered clock signal at 10 Gbps and 40 Gbps. It leads to a good performance using a Mach-Zehnder interferometric wavelength converter and a self-pulsating laser diode (LD). The self-pulsating LD serves a recovered clock, which has an rms timing jitter as low as sub-picosecond. In the case of 3R regeneration of RZ data, we achieve a 1.0 dB power penalty at $10^{-9}$ BER after demultiplexing 40 Gbps to 10 Gbps with an eletroabsorption modulator. The regenerated 3R data shows stable error-free operation with no BER floor for all channels. The combination of these functional devices provides all-optical 3R regeneration with NRZ-to-RZ conversion.

Light intensity and spectral characteristics of different types of fluorescent lamps were tested to investigate their possibility as the artificial lighting sources for the close illumination applied in the transplant production factory. Photosynthetic photon flux densitiy(PPF), illuminance and irradiance for all lamps decreased logarithmically with an increase of the vertical distance from the lighting source. The fluorescent lamp specially designed plant growth (PG lamp) showed a maximum spectral irradiance at the wavelength of 660nm. However, it showed lower irradiance than that of a standard fluorescent lamp at the range of wavelength between 500 and 600nm. On the other hand, PG lamp showed higher PPF and lower illuminance than those of the standard fluorescent lamp. The maximum peak of spectral characteristics for both of the single and twin three-bind fluorescent lamps was shorn at the wavelength of 545m and the next peaks were shown at the wavelength of 610nm and 435nm, respectively. Since the red fluorescent lamp has a narrower peak at the wavelength of 660nm, it may be useful for the supplementary red lighting. For three of standard, single three-band and twin three-band fluorescent lamps, the values of conversion factor for converting illuminance to PPF fell within the narrow range from 76 to 791x/$\mu$molㆍm$^{-2}$ ㆍs$^{-l}$ . However, for PG lamp, it was 29.71x/$\mu$molㆍm$^{-2}$ ㆍs$^{-1}$. Also, the values of conversion factor for converting PPF to irradiance of fluorescent lamp used in this study ranged between 4.85 and 5.34$\mu$molㆍm$^{-2}$ ㆍs$^{-1}$/Wㆍm$^{-2}$ .

We demonstrated $\check{S}$olc-type wavelength filters in periodically poled Ti-diffused lithium-niobate channel optical waveguide (Ti:PPLN). A $\check{S}$olc-type transmission spectrum based on the polarization-mode conversion was observed experimentally in PPLN with period 16.6${\mu}m$. A reasonable explanation of such a phenomenon was presented. A polarization-mode converted transmission peak was observed at wavelength 1272.49nm. The FWHM and sidelobe of spectrum are about 0.23nm and 7 dB, respectively.

We consider the routing and wavelength assignment problem in survivable WDM transport network without wavelength conversion. We assume the single-link failure and a path protection scheme in optical layer. When a physical network and a set of working paths are given, the problem is to select a link-disjoint protection path for each working path and assign a wavelength for each working and protection path. We give an integer programming formulation of the problem and propose an algorithm to solve it based on column generation technique and variable fixing. We devise a branch-and-price algorithm to solve the column generation problem. We test the proposed algorithm on some randomly generated data and test results show that the algorithm gives very good solutions.

This paper considers the efficient design of routing path and wavelength assignment in the single-hop WDM optical transport networks. The connection demands between node-pairs are given and a connection between a pair of nodes must be made by only one lightpath. It is assumed that no wavelength conversion is allowed and the physical topology of the network and the number of available wavelengths of a physical link are also given. This paper proposes the method to route a path and assign a wavelength to the path, which guarantees fairness to every node pair. In order to guarantee fairness and maximize connections, an optimization model is established, which successively maximizes minimum connection ratio to the demand of each node pair. A heuristic algorithm with polynomial iterations is developed for the problem since the problem is NP-hard. The heuristic algorithm is implemented and applied to the networks with real problem sizes. The results of the application are compared with GAMS/OSL.

We propose a dynamic wavelength assignment algorithm for online RWA problem in WDM networks with wavelength conversion. With our algorithm, for a given network condition, the following results have been proven mathematically: (1) the probability to find the set of wavelengths for a requested connection is equal or better than any other previously proposed algorithms, (2) our algorithm minimizes the usage of converters by chaining the minimum number of the longest wavelength continuous segments, leaving more converters available for future requests and (3) the complexity of our algorithm is reasonable, which is also another advantage of our algorithm.

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.
