The objective of this paper is to present an overview of topics related to one of the
fundamental parameters for semiconductor lasers-the linewidth broadening factor α that …

With 26 entirely new and 5 extensively revised chapters out of the total of 39, the Mobile
Communications Handbook, Third Edition presents an in-depth and up-to-date overview of …

We propose a photonic spiking neural network (SNN) consisting of photonic spiking neurons
based on vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs). The photonic spike timing …

The application of semiconductor laser amplifiers to long-wavelength optical fiber systems is
discussed. The basic equations defining laser amplifier characteristics are presented …

An all-optical set-reset flip-flop is presented that is based on two coupled lasers with
separate cavities and lasing at different wavelengths. The lasers are coupled so that lasing …

This paper reports a detailed theoretical study of the dynamics of wavelength conversion
using cross-gain and cross-phase modulation in semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOA's) …

Fiber loop optical buffers enable data storage for discrete time intervals and therefore
appear suitable for applications in optical asynchronous transfer mode (OATM)-based …

This paper presents a theoretical and experimental study in terms of small-signal gain,
signal gain saturation, and noise characteristics of a 1.5 μm GaInAsP traveling-wave …

An advanced dynamic model for multisection semiconductor optical amplifiers is presented.
It accounts for the carrier and field distributions in the longitudinal direction as well as for the …

A comparison is presented between optical bistability in laser amplifiers and in passive
Fabry-Perot cavities. The basis for comparison is afforded by a new analysis of optical …
