Pattern Effect Mitigation Techniques for All-Optical Wavelength Converters Based on Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers

By Jin Wang

All-optical wavelength converters (AOWC) are considered key to overcome wavelength blocking issues in next generation transparent networks. The focus of this book is on semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOA), a mature nonlinear element with very favorable nonlinear characteristics, and on a discussion of various filter configurations as well as on their adaptations for providing optimum performance matched to the nonlinear element working in high-speed all-optical wavelength converters.
