Experimental analysis of four-wave mixing in a semiconductor optical amplifier using frequency resolved optical gating [PDF]
Four-wave mixing was performed in a multi-quantum well semiconductor optical amplifier in order to demultiplex 2 ps pulses from 80 GHz to 10 GHz. The demultiplexed pulses were measured using frequency resolved optical gating.

Coherent optical amplifiers intensify the amplitude of the component which has a given optical phase and attenuate the amplitude of the component which has the optical phase orthogonal to the 'amplified phase'. Principles, effectiveness in the optical transmission and current status of experimental demonstrations of the coherent amplifiers are reviewed.

Numerical analysis of four-wave mixing between 2 ps mode-locked laser pulses in a tensile-strained bulk SOA [PDF]
A numerical model of four-wave mixing between 2-ps pulses in a tensile-strained bulk semiconductor optical amplifier is presented. The model utilizes a modified Schrodinger equation to model the pulse propagation. The Schrodinger equation parameters such
