abstract: We experimentally explore and demonstrate the potential of a birefringent fiber loop (BFL) to compensate for the pattern effects (PE) induced in a reflective semiconductor optical amplifier (RSOA) which is driven by optical data whose intensity, temporal and spectral characteristics heavily stress the RSOA. By properly tailoring the BFL comb like profile and adjusting the relative offset between the BFL maximum transmission and carrier signal position, the BFL improves the RSOA pattern dependent performance even though the input pulses' modulation bandwidth exceeds the 3 dB cut off frequency of the RSOA optical response. The extensive set of obtained experimental results confirms the BFL capability to enhance the RSOA operation even under strong saturation, since the BFL acts in a beneficial manner on the amplified pulses by reducing their overshoot to an acceptable level, restoring their spectral position, reshaping their eye diagram and increasing their input power dynamic range. These notable improvements, combined with the construction from off the shelf components, straightforward implementation, simplicity of operation and flexibly tunable transmission characteristics, render the BFL an attractive solution for efficiently combating the RSOA PE and resolving its undesirable complications.

abstract: Reflective semiconductor optical amplifiers (RSOAs) are versatile gain media that find applications in passive optical networks. Due to their double pass characteristics, they show better gain compared with ordinary semiconductor optical amplifiers, resulting in better switching performance. In this work, the RSOA based gain dynamics is utilized to design and analyze a parity checker and generator using soliton pulses. The results of MATLAB simulations at a rate of 200 Gbps show the practical feasibility of such gates. The effect of the amplified spontaneous emission noise on the performance of the logic gate is also investigated.

abstract: A new time domain wideband numerical model for simulation of quantum dot reflective semiconductor optical amplifier (QD RSOA) steady state and dynamic behavior, is described. The model is used to investigate 1 ps full width at half maximum input Gaussian pulse amplification and also modulation cancellation. A large modulation cancellation dynamic range of about 35 dB, is predicted for high input powers, which is not attainable in bulk and QW RSOAs. The model can be applied to traveling wave and reflective QD SOAs. The combination of the unique features of quantum dots and a reflective structure can be used to realize a colorless modulator for wavelength division multiplexed passive optical networks (WDM PONs)

abstract: The feasibility of employing a birefringent fiber loop to enhance the performance of a directly modulated reflective semiconductor optical amplifier is experimentally demonstrated for the first time. The birefringent fiber loop acts as an optical filter of opposite slope than that of the reflective semiconductor optical amplifier electro optical response and counteracts the finite reflective semiconductor optical amplifier modulation bandwidth of only 0.89 GHz. By proper adjustment of its detuning, the birefringent fiber loop tailors the spectral components that physically manifest due to the reflective semiconductor optical amplifier dynamic perturbation subject to direct modulation in the saturated gain regime, and suppresses the pattern dependent distortions in the time domain. In this manner, the birefringent fiber loop manages to significantly improve the quality characteristics of the encoded signal at higher data rates than those enabled by the reflective semiconductor optical amplifier limited modulation capability. Owing to the birefringent fiber loop, the reflective semiconductor optical amplifier modulation range is extended to 4 Gb/s at the raw bit error rate of 1.0x10 9, and to 11 Gb/s at the forward error correction limit of 3.8x10 3. These results, which are unique against the evaluation criterion adopted in the first case, and the modulation speed achieved with post filtering schemes in the second, highlight the beneficial role that the birefringent fiber loop can play in supporting reflective semiconductor optical amplifier operation for intensity amplification and modulation purposes.

abstract: We demonstrate the feasibility of using a single microring resonator (MRR) as optical notch filter for enabling the direct modulation of a reflective semiconductor optical amplifier (RSOA) at more than tripled data rate than possible with the RSOA alone. We conduct a thorough simulation analysis to investigate and assess the impact of critical operating parameters on defined performance metrics, and we specify how the former must be selected so that the latter can become acceptable. By using an MRR of appropriate radius and detuning, the RSOA modulation bandwidth, which we explicitly quantify, can be extended to overcome the RSOA pattern dependent performance limitations. Thus, the MRR makes the RSOA encoded signal exhibit improved characteristics that can be exploited in practical RSOA direct modulation applications.
