High-speed all-optical signal processing using semiconductor optical amplifiers

We present semiconductor optical amplifier-based optical signal processing for high bit-rate optical communication. All optical wavelength conversion and logic operation of 40-Gb/s PSK and OOK signals are demonstrated. High-speed all-optical signal characterization methods and the application to all-optical signal processing are also presented.
