Duty-Cycle and Chirp Diagnosis of All-Optical Format Conversion Data in Multi- and Single-Wavelength Inverse Optical Comb Injected Semiconductor Optical Amplifier

Abstract

Comparison on shortened falling-time, reduced chirp and improved on/off extinction ratio of 10Gbit/s all-optical data-format converted pulse-stream in single- and multi-wavelength inverse-optical-comb injected semiconductor optical amplifiers with temporally reshaped gain-window is demonstrated.
