Simulation of optically switchable and tunable ultrawideband monocycle generation using semiconductor optical amplifier and optical delay line

We proposed and theoretically simulated an optically switchable and tunable ultrawideband monocycle generator based on wavelength conversion in a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA), and optical tunable delay in an optical delay line (ODL). The system is optically switchable in pulse polarity, and tunable in both pulsewidth and radio frequency (RF) spectrum.
