Optical Frequency Conversion Using Nearly Degenerate Four-Wave Mixing in a Distributed-Feedback Semiconductor Laser: Theory and Experiment
An analytical description of nearly degenerate four-wave mixing in a single-mode semiconductor laser operating above threshold is given by using the rate-equation model. The theoretical result is confirmed by the experiment measuring the power amplification of probe and conjugate waves. A 155-Mb / s frequency-shift keying optical-transmission system is demonstrated using four-wave mixing in a b...
متن کاملFour-wave mixing and phase conjugation in semiconductor laser media.
A theory of four-wave mixing in semiconductor laser media is developed by considering the contributions of both the gain and index gratings created by the carrier-density modulation occurring at the beat frequency of the pump and the probe waves. The general formalism can be applied to semiconductor lasers operating below or above threshold. As an illustration, we consider the case in which the...
متن کاملSubmillimeter Wave Generation Through Optical Four-Wave Mixing Using Injection-Locked Semiconductor Lasers
This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of submillimeter wave generation through optical four-wave mixing (FWM) in an injection-locked semiconductor laser. The probe wave introduces pump-probe difference frequency amplitude modulation (AM) and phase modulation (PM) of the slave laser injection locked to the pump wave. The AM and PM indexes of the locked laser output lightwave modulated at ...
متن کاملImproving the Thermal Characteristics of Semiconductor Lasers Using a New Asymmetric Waveguide Structure
Self-heating leads to a temperature rise of the laser diode and limits the output power and efficiency due to increased loss and decreased differential gain. To control device self-heating, it is required to design the laser structure with a low optical loss, while the heat flux must spread out of the device efficiently. In this study, a new asymmetric waveguide design is proposed and th...
متن کاملFWM Wavelength Conversion Analysis in a 3-Integrated Portion SOA and DFB Laser using Coupled Wave Approach and FD-BPM Method
In this paper we have numerically analyzed terahertzrange wavelength conversion using nondegenerate four wave mixing (NDFWM) in a SOA integrated DFB laser (experiments reported both in MIT electronics and Fujitsu research laboratories). For analyzing semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA), we use finitedifference beam propagation method (FDBPM) based on modified nonlinear SchrÖdinger equation an...
