Chirp control of 10 Gbit/s RZ data stream converted by semiconductor optical amplifier using multi-mode inverse optical comb injection

Abstract

Comparison on shortened falling-time, reduced chirp and improved on/off extinction ratio of 10 Gbit/s all-optical pulsed RZ generation in single-and multi-wavelength inverse-optical-comb injected semiconductor optical amplifiers with temporally reshaped gain-window is demonstrated.
