Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New techniques for temporal signal processing in the optical domain are becoming increasingly important for practically all the current scientific and engineering applications. Processing the information in the all-optical domain offers the possibility to overcome the severe speed limitations of present electronic circuits. This book details the proposal, design and demonstration of fundamental all-optical signal processing blocks using fiber-based technologies. Some important applications of these basic blocks in optical signal processing, computing and characterization is also presented. Following the demonstration of ultra-large bandwidth photonic devices for processing of ultrafast optical signals, optical signal characterization techniques capable of accurately characterizing these devices and also the ultrafast optical signals interacting with these photonic devices are proposed, studied and demonstrated. This book should help shed some light on this new field, and should be especially useful to professionals in optical signal processing, or anyone else who may be considering utilizing optical technologies in sister fields of engineering and science.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive review of the state-of-the art of optical signal processing technologies and devices. It presents breakthrough solutions for enabling a pervasive use of optics in data communication and signal storage applications. It presents presents optical signal processing as solution to overcome the capacity crunch in communication networks. The book content ranges from the development of innovative materials and devices, such as graphene and slow light structures, to the use of nonlinear optics for secure quantum information processing and overcoming the classical Shannon limit on channel capacity and microwave signal processing. Although it holds the promise for a substantial speed improvement, today’s communication infrastructure optics remains largely confined to the signal transport layer, as it lags behind electronics as far as signal processing is concerned. This situation will change in the near future as the tremendous growth of data traffic requires energy efficient and fully transparent all-optical networks. The book is written by leaders in the field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains papers presented at the Eleventh International Conference on Ultrafast Phenomena held at Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, from July 12 to 17, 1998. The biannual Ultrafast Phenomena Conferences provide a forum for dis cussion of the latest advances in ultrafast optics and their applications in science and engineering. The Garmisch conference brought together a multidisciplinary group of 440 participants from 27 countries, including 127 students. The enthu siasm of this large number of Participants, the high quality of the papers they presented and the magnificent conference site resulted in a successful and pleasant conference. Progress was reported in the technology of generating ultrashort pulses, in cluding new techniques for improving laser-pulse duration, tunability over broad wavelength ranges, output power and peak intensity. Ultrafast spectroscopy con tinues to provide new insight into fundamental processes in physics, chemistry, biology, and engineering. In addition to analyzing ultrafast phenomena, control of ultrafast dynamics now represents an important topic. Ultrafast concepts and tech niques are being applied in imaging and microscopy, high speed optoelectronics, mat~rial diagnostics and processing, reflecting the maturing of the field. Acknowledgements. Many people contributed to the success of the conference.

This book was released on 2016-10-21 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis examines the unique properties of gallium arsenide (GaAs)-based quantum-dot semiconductor optical amplifiers for optical communication networks, introducing readers to their fundamentals, basic parameters and manifold applications. The static and dynamic properties of these amplifiers are discussed extensively in comparison to conventional, non quantum-dot based amplifiers, and their unique advantages are elaborated on, such as the fast carrier dynamics and the decoupling of gain and phase dynamics. In addition to diverse amplification scenarios involving single and multiple high symbol rate amplitude and phase-coded data signals, wide-range wavelength conversion as a key functionality for optical signal processing is investigated and discussed in detail. Furthermore, two novel device concepts are developed and demonstrated that have the potential to significantly simplify network architectures, reducing the investment and maintenance costs as well as the energy consumption of future networks.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The high-speed physical processes that occur in semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs), and facilitate the use of these devices in ultrafast all-optical switches, are examined experimentally and numerically. SOA-based switches are candidates for optical signal processing functionalities in future high-speed telecommunications networks, and several novel applications that exploit the SOA{u2019}s ultrafast nonlinearities (in particular gain and phase modulations) are presented and discussed. A pump-probe test bed for measuring the responses of the SOA gain and phase characteristics to intense optical pulses in real time is built and described. A numerical impulse response model is developed to simulate the gain and phase responses observed. Qualitative and quantitative differences between the SOA gain and phase response are detailed and explained, and the impact of these differences on the SOA{u2019}s effectiveness in high-speed optical switches is assessed. The gain and phase responses of a number of SOAs with different active region dimensions are observed, with particular attention paid to the response recovery rate, which ultimately dictates the high-speed capacity and performance of SOA-based optical switches. The recovery rates are compared to assess any dependence of the response speed on the active region design. A number of novel all-optical signal processing configurations that incorporate SOAs are presented and their performances evaluated. In particular a novel high-speed all-optical XOR gate is described. Also, more importantly, a novel device arrangement, consisting of two SOAs separated by an optical band pass filter, that improves the response speed of the constituent SOAs by a factor of 4, is described in terms of its operation principle and potential applications. This so-called {u2018}turbo-switch{u2019} is employed in all-optical logic configurations, in place of the traditional single SOA, and demonstrates an improvement in the bit rate capacity of each logic function examined. Optical signal processing at rates of up to 170Gbit/s is demonstrated.
