Nonlinear Polarization Rotation

The focus of this paper is to analyze in detail the nonlinear polarization rotation phenomenon in the Semiconductor Optical Amplifier (SOA) according to the injection conditions. To this end, we have developed a numerical model based on the coupled mode theory and the formalism of Stokes. The obtained results are in agreement with the experimental measurements that have been carried out in free space, which allows optimum control and preservation of the polarization state of the injected and collected signals.

Nonlinear Polarization Rotation

All optical frequency encoded logic gates NOT, OR and AND are proposed and described using polarization rotation in semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs). The switching power of the logic gates are very low and have capability to speed of 320 Gbps. The gates are easily integrable, simple in hardware and compatible to optical network. The input and output power requirement is included.
