IEEE JOURNAL OF QUANTUM ELECTRONICS, VOL. 38, NO. 8, AUGUST 2002 1053 All-Optical Switching at Multi-100-Gb/s Data Rates (2002)

P. Schreieck, Martin H. Kwakernaak, Heinz Jäckel, Hans Melchior, Life Fellow

We present experimental and theoretical results on ultrafast nonlinear dynamics in InGaAsP semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs). Carrier heating, spectral hole burning, and two-photon absorption...

Ultrafast switching dynamics of Mach–Zehnder interferometer switches (2001)

Martin Kwakernaak, Student Member, Heinz Jäckel, Emil Gamper, Emilio Gini, Werner Vogt, ...

Abstract—We present results of cross-gain and cross-phase modulation experiments on InGaAsP-based semiconductor optical amplifiers and Mach–Zehnder interferometer (MZI) switches. For 150-fs input...

All-Optical Mach-Zehnder Inferometer Wavelength . . . (1999)

J. Leuthold, Juerg Leuthold, Associate Member, Pierre-andre Besse, Emil Gamper, Marcus Dülk, ...

All-optical Mach--Zehnder interferometer (MZI) wavelength converters and switches with monolithically integrated data- and control-signal separation schemes are reported. Two schemes to separate the...

All-optical space switches with gain and principally ideal extinction ratios (1998)

Juerg Leuthold, Pierre A. Besse, Juerg Eckner, Emil Gamper, Marcus Dülk, Hans Melchior

configurations are proposed to build all-optical space switches with gain and principally ideal extinction ratios. Actually, three asymmetries in MZI configurations with semiconductor optical...

Multimode interference couplers for the conversion and combining of zeroand first-order modes (1998)

Juerg Leuthold, Juerg Eckner, Emil Gamper, Pierre A. Besse, Hans Melchior

Abstract—Optical waveguide mode-combiners for fundamental and first-order modes, based on multimode interference (MMI) couplers are presented. These devices convert a fundamental mode into a...

All-Optical Space Switches with Gain and Principally Ideal Extinction Ratios (1998)

Juerg Leuthold, Pierre A. Besse, Juerg Eckner, Emil Gamper, Marcus Dülk, Hans Melchior

Asymmetric Mach--Zehnder interferometer (MZI) configurations are proposed to build all-optical space switches with gain and principally ideal extinction ratios. Actually, three asymmetries in MZI...
