The AOWCs are based on the cross-gain modulation （XGM） effect of the semiconductor optical amplifier （SOA）. Moreover, the feasibility of this sys- tem is experimentally demonstrated by evaluating the impacts of the optical wavelength conversion, time domain waveforms, eye diagrams and bit-error-rate （BER） in AOWC. The results show that the proposal will be a promising solution for the next generation access networks.展开更多

Key techniques in AON include optical switching/routing, optical cross connection （OXC）, all optical wavelength conversion （AOWC）, all optical buffering, etc. Opti- cal switching/routing is in fact wavelength switching/ routing. OXC and wavelength conversion （WC） are introduced into cross nodes so that a virtual wavelength path is established. With WC, communication route is formed only if there is unused wavelength in an individual segment link. The rate wavelength usage is thus greatly increased. The blocking rate of network can be reduced by adding WCs, especially for huge capacity multiple nodes ones. Therefore, WC has attracted much attention in basic research of optical communication and is used in some experimental networks.This dissertation studies all optic wavelength conversion and its application, with the contributions in the following five aspects.展开更多

The performance of the proposed wavelength converter is analyzed in term of extinction ratio (ER) through numerical simulations. For a typical ER of 10 dB, some key characteristic parameters of the semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) are designed. With the properly designed parameters, a high quality eye diagram is achievable, indicating that the amplitude fluctuation of the output signal is effectively reduced.展开更多
