English Abstract
This research is in the area of high speed telecommunication systems where all optical technologies are being introduced to meet the ever increasing demand for bandwidth by replacing the costly electro-optical conversion modules.
In such systems, all-optical routers are the key technologies capable of supporting networks with high capacity/ bandwidth as well as offering lower power consumption.
The SOAs are perfect for optical amplification and optical switching at a very high speed.
This is due to their small size, low switching energy, non-linear characteristics and the seamless integration with other optical devices.
Therefore, characterization of the SOA operational functionalities and optimization of its performance for amplification and switching are essential and challenging.
This research aims to characterize the boundaries conditions and optimize the SOA performance for amplification and switching.
An SOA model is been developed and used throughout the research for theoretical simulations.
Results show that the optimum conditions required to achieve the maximum output gain for best amplification performance depends on the SOA peak gain wavelength.
It is also shown that the optimum phase shift of 180º degree for switching can be induced at lower input power level when the SOA biasing current is at its maximum limit.
Moreover, thermooptical effect on gain and phase shift is investigated as well.
