A general time-domain transfer matrix model is presented which is able to handle waves
perturbed by a locally uniform medium and which is particularly well adapted to equivalent …

In this paper, a numerical model of Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers (SOA) is
experimentally validated in terms of the Alpha Factor (α_H) and the Four-Wave Mixing …

An enhanced version of the conventional differential scheme, employed to decouple the
switching speed of an active Mach-Zehnder interferometer from the recovery time of its main …

A novel architecture to implement an all-optical AND gate that relies on the use of a bulk
semiconductor optical amplifier-based active Mach-Zehnder interferometer and the turbo …

Two variations of the active Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) that incorporate the recently
proposed turbo-switch effect are introduced to carry out three key functionalities in …

A novel structure composed of two semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOA) designed to
amplify a signal within an optical link is proposed. It is based on the use of a cross-gain …

Les amplificateurs optiques à semi-conducteurs (SOA) sont des composants
multifonctionnels utilisables dans des applications de plus en plus variées, notamment dans …

We study amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) from wavelength-scale composite bodies—
complicated arrangements of active and passive media—demonstrating highly directional …

We experimentally and theoretically demonstrate the semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA)
gain recovery-time (RT) dependence on the probe signal wavelength and power when …

The application of semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) is not limited only to the
amplification of optical signals. It is also used as an important element in optical switching …
