Abstract

Time resolved spectra (chirp) were measured in quantum dash optical amplifiers and were found to depend on the amplified pulse width and the degree of saturation.

Spectral characteristics of gain and noise saturation in nonlinear InAs/InP quantum dash optical amplifiers

Robert Alizon, D. Hadass, A. Bilenca +9 more

Gain and noise saturation spectra of quantum-dash optical amplifiers were measured to be asymmetric due to the inhomogeneous gain and their quantum wire like nature. Direct measurement of the homogeneously broadened gain bandwidth yields 15 nm.

Theory of linearly chirped quasi-parabolic ultrashort pulses from coherent nonlinear optical amplifiers

Stefan W. Wabnitz, Victor V. Kozlov

Optical pulse reshaping in nonlinear coherent two-level amplifiers may lead to time-compressed, quasi-parabolic intensity profiles with linear chirp. Nonlinear coherent amplifiers may generate pulses with spectral width larger than the linear gain bandwidth.

We demonstrate a direct observation of the coherent noise spectral hole in a saturated quantum dash amplifier. Its width 500-600 GHz is determined by the response time and is responsible for high speed regeneration properties.

Cross-gain modulation in inhomogeneously broadened gain spectra of InP-Based 1550 nm quantum dash optical amplifiers: Small-signal bandwidth dependence on wavelength detuning

Robert Alizon, A. Bilenca, Hanan Dery +6 more

Dynamical properties of cross-gain modulation (XGM) within the inhomogeneously broadened gain spectrum of an InP quantum dash optical amplifier operating at 1550 nm are examined. The small-signal XGM modulation bandwidth increases with the carrier escape time, which is achieved at long probe wavelengths. The nature of the XGM dynamics is confirmed by spectrally resolved optical modulation response measurements in quantum dash lasers.

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.
