Research and Markets has announced the addition of John Wiley and Sons Ltd's new report "Ultrafast All-Optical Signal Processing Devices" to their offering.
In this book, the authors discuss the state-of-the-art development of semiconductor based ultrafast all-optical devices, and their applications to signal processing for 160Gb/s to 1Tb/s.
The book will contain the following:
- Mode-locked semiconductor lasers.
- Electro-absorption modulator based 160Gb/s signal sources.
- Signal processing using only the ultrafast response component of the semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA).
- SOA based symmetric Mach-Zehnder type all-optical gates.
- Uni-travelling-carrier photodiode (UTC-PD) and PD-EAM optical gate integrating UTC-PD and travelling wave electro-absorption modulator (TW-EAM).
- Intersubband transition all-optical gates with a few 100fs to 1 ps response speed.
- Transparent wavelength conversion using four-wave mixing in bulk and quantum dot based SOA.
- Examples of above 160Gb/s transmission experiments.
Semiconductor-based Ultra-Fast All-Optical Signal Processing Devices a key technology for the next generation of ultrahigh bandwidth optical communication systems! The introduction of ultra-fast communication systems based on all-optical signal processing is considered to be one of the most promising ways to handle the rapidly increasing global communication traffic. Such systems will enable real time super-high definition moving pictures such as high reality TV-conference, remote diagnosis and surgery, cinema entertainment and many other applications with small power consumption. The key issue to realize such systems is to develop ultra-fast optical devices such as light sources, all-optical gates and wavelength converters. Ultra-Fast All-Optical Signal Processing Devices discusses the state of the art development of semiconductor-based ultrafast all-optical devices, and their various signal processing applications for bit-rates 100Gb/s to 1Tb/s.
