Abstract

This paper demonstrates that quantum dot optical amplifiers with significant excited state occupation exhibit symmetric saturation spectra due to very efficient carrier relaxation between excited and depleted ground states.

Gain dynamics and saturation in semiconductor quantum dot amplifiers

T.W. Berg, Jesper Mørk, J. M. Hvam

Quantum dot (QD)-based semiconductor optical amplifiers offer unique properties compared with conventional devices based on bulk or quantum well material. Due to the bandfilling properties of QDs and the existence of a nearby reservoir of carriers in the form of a wetting layer, QD semiconductor optical amplifiers may be operated in regimes of high linearity, i.e. with a high saturation power, but can also show strong and fast nonlinearities by breaking the equilibrium between discrete dot states and the continuum of wetting layer states. In this paper, we analyse the interplay of these two carrier populations in terms of a simple rate equation model. Based on the steady-state and small-signal properties of the model, we analyse and discuss the optical modulation response and the four-wave mixing properties of QD semiconductor optical amplifiers, in particular emphasizing the role of ultrafast gain dynamics.

Effects of Spectral Broadening and Cross Relaxation on the Gain Saturation Characteristics of Quantum Dot Laser Amplifiers

Yoshihiro Nambu, Akihisa Tomita, Hideaki Saito Hideaki Saito +1 more

Spectral broadening and cross relaxation of an aggregate of highly carrier-injected quantum dots have been studied experimentally by evaluating the gain saturation and optical-wave mixing characteristics of traveling-wave laser amplifiers that include self-assembled 0.98-µm InGaAs dots. Measured signal-gain spectra at room temperature showed that the gain decreases over the entire gain spectra when an intense and narrow-linewidth saturating signal is injected at a higher-order subband transition of the quantum dot. Differential-gain spectrum was calculated from the saturated and unsaturated signal gain spectra, and revealed asymmetric gain saturation with respect to the wavelength of the saturating signal. These results suggest that cross relaxation is so fast that the dot aggregate has a homogeneously broadened gain spectrum. Self-saturation and cross-saturation characteristics, and the detuning characteristics of highly nondegenerate four-wave mixing were also investigated. The latter revealed that the characteristic times of two cross-relaxation processes are about 1 ps and 100 fs.

Phase dynamics of InAs∕GaAs quantum dot semiconductor optical amplifiers

Ian O'Driscoll, Tomasz Piwoński, John A. Houlihan +3 more

The gain and phase dynamics of InAs∕GaAs quantum dot amplifiers are studied using single and two-color heterodyne pump probe spectroscopy. The relaxation of the wetting layer carrier density is shown to have a strong effect on the phase dynamics of both ground and excited state transients, while having a much weaker effect on the gain dynamics. In addition, the dynamical alpha factor may also display a constant value after an initial transient. Such behavior is strongly encouraging for reduced pattern effect operation in high speed optical networks.

Noise properties of quantum dot optical amplifiers

A. Bilenca, G. Eisenstein

We present a theoretical analysis of noise properties in linear and nonlinear quantum-dot amplifiers. Inhomogeneously broadened gain and fast population pulsation dynamics are highlighted. The results are consistent with published and measured saturation spectra.

Four-wave mixing in quantum dot semiconductor optical amplifiers

Ahmed H. Flayyih, Amin Habbeb AL-Khursan

The theory of four-wave mixing (FWM) in the quantum dot (QD) semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) is discussed by combining the QD rate equations system, the quantum-mechanical density-matrix theory, and the pulse propagation in QD SOAs including the three region of QD structure ground state (GS), excited state (ES), and wetting layer. Also, relations for differential gain, gain integral, and nonlinear susceptibility of both pump, probe, and signal pulses were discussed. Gain and differential gain have been calculated for QD structure. FWM efficiency and its components [spectral hole burning (SHB), carrier heating, and carrier density pulsation] are calculated. It is found that inclusion of ES in the formulas and in the calculations is essential since it works as a carrier reservoir for GS. It is found that QD SOA with enough capture time from ES to GS will reduce the SHB component, and so it is suitable for telecommunication applications that require symmetric conversion and independent detuning.

Excited-state gain dynamics in InGaAs quantum-dot amplifiers

Stephan Schneider, Paola Borri, W. Langbein +4 more

The ultrafast gain recovery dynamics of the first excited state (ES) is studied in an electrically pumped InGaAs quantum-dot amplifier at room temperature and compared with the ground-state (GS) gain dynamics. Pump-probe differential transmission experiments are performed in heterodyne detection and the gain dynamics are investigated as a function of injection current. An ultrafast (<200 fs) initial gain recovery of both GS and ES transition is found, promising for optical signal processing at high bit rates. The obtained results suggest the occurrence of a fast recovery of the state occupation mediated by carrier-carrier scattering as long as a reservoir of carriers in the ESs and wetting layer is present.
