Optical signal processing via two-photon absorption in a semiconductor microcavity for the next generation of high-speed optical communications network
Maguire, Paul J. and Barry, Liam P. and Krug, T. and Guo, Wei Hua and O'Dowd, John and Lynch, Michael and Bradley, Ann Louise and Donegan, John Francis and Folliot, H. (2006) Optical signal processing via two-photon absorption in a semiconductor microcavity for the next generation of high-speed optical communications network. Journal of Lightwave Technology, 24 (7). pp. 2683-2692. ISSN 0733-8724 Full text available as: AbstractDue to the introduction of new broadband services, individual line data rates are expected to exceed 100 Gb/s in the near future. To operate at these high speeds, new optical signal processing techniques will have to be developed. This paper will demonstrate that two-photon absorption in a specially designed semiconductor microcavity is an ideal candidate for optical signal processing applications such as autocorrelation, sampling, and demultiplexing in high-speed wavelength-division-multiplexed (WDM) and hybrid WDM/optical time-division-multiplexed networks.
