提出了一种基于定向耦合（DC）半导体光放大器（SOA）的新型全光波长转换器，并通过一个简单的模型对其特性进行了仿真，分析了其消光增强和数字响应等优点。然后，我们在1.55 /spl μ/m波段制作的器件，并成功地证明了波长转换操作与上述优点。非常紧凑的尺寸和不需要有源/无源集成是DC SOA的其他显著优点。
We propose a novel all-optical wavelength converter based on directionally coupled (DC) semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOA) and simulate its characteristics using a simple model to find out such advantages as extinction enhancement and digital response. We then fabricate devices in the 1.55 /spl mu/m band, and successfully demonstrate the wavelength conversion operation with the above-mentioned advantages. Very compact size and no need of active/passive integration are other significant merits of DC SOA's.
