Multichannel and Multistate All-Optical Switch Using Quantum-Dot and Sample-Grating Semiconductor Optical Amplifier

A novel type of multichannel and multistate all-optical switch using a single sample-grating quantum-dot-distributed feedback semiconductor optical amplifier has been proposed and theoretically demonstrated. The multichannel device, which operates below threshold, utilizes cross-gain modulation and...
