Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of four-wave mixing (FWM) in a semiconductor optical amplifier with quantum dots (QD-SOA). Experimental measurements of FWM signals are characterized in nonlinear media of GaAs-based QD-SOA with gain in the 1,550 nm region. Theoretical part of nonlinear effect of FWM is studied and important all-optical communication applications are listed. Experimental studies of a four-wave system are described and an analysis of FWM signals is given for various input powers of pump signals and injection currents. The devices are compared in terms of such parameters as conversion efficiency and signal-to-noise ratio. The results of the study made it possible to reveal the possibility of the effect of FWM signals on useful signals in channels with spectral division multiplexing wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) in the downstream and upstream in a semiconductor optical amplifier. Based on the experimental results, it was concluded that FWM does not affect adjacent channels of WDM signals and does not generate additional optical noise when scaling the WDM gigabit passive optical network (GPON) up to 60 km using semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs).

基于量子点半导体光放大器的四波混频实验研究

本文研究了量子点半导体光放大器（QD-SOA）中的四波混频（FWM）。在增益为1550nm的GaAs基QD-SOA的非线性介质中，对FWM信号的实验测量进行了表征。研究了FWM非线性效应的理论部分，列举了重要的全光通信应用。对四波系统的实验研究进行了描述，并对不同泵信号输入功率和注入电流的FWM信号进行了分析。根据诸如转换效率和信噪比之类的参数来比较这些器件。该研究的结果使得揭示FWM信号对半导体光放大器中在下游和上游具有谱分复用波分复用（WDM）的信道中的有用信号的影响的可能性成为可能。基于实验结果，得出结论：当使用半导体光放大器（SOA）将WDM千兆无源光网络（GPON）扩展到60km时，FWM不会影响WDM信号的相邻信道，也不会产生额外的光噪声。
