Ultra-Fast All-Optical Signal Processing Devices –a key technology for
the next generation of ultrahigh bandwidth optical communication
systems!
The introduction of ultra-fast communication systems
based on all-optical signal processing is considered to be one of the
most promising ways to handle the rapidly increasing global
communication traffic. Such systems will enable real time super-high
definition moving pictures such as high reality TV-conference, remote
diagnosis and surgery, cinema entertainment and many other applications
with small power consumption. The key issue to realize such systems is
to develop ultra-fast optical devices such as light sources, all-optical
gates and wavelength converters.
Ultra-Fast All-Optical Signal
Processing Devices discusses the state of the art development of
semiconductor-based ultrafast all-optical devices, and their various
signal processing applications for bit-rates 100Gb/s to 1Tb/s.
Ultra-Fast All-Optical Signal Processing Devices:
* Provides a thorough and in-depth treatment of the most recent achievements in ultrafast all-optical devices
* Discusses future networks with applications such as HD-TV and
super-high definition moving screens as a motivating background for
devices research * Covers mode-locked semiconductor lasers,
electro-absorption modulator based 160Gb/s signal sources, SOA based
symmetric Mach-Zehnder type all-optical gates, intersubband transition
gate device, and more * Explains the technical issues behind turning the ultra-fast optical devices into practical working tools * Examples of above 160Gb/s transmission experiments * Discusses future prospects of the ultra-fast signal processing devices
This
invaluable reference will provide device researchers and engineers in
industry, researchers at universities (including graduate students, and
post doctorial researchers and professors) and research institutes with a
thorough understanding of ultrahigh bandwidth optical communication
systems. Device and communication market watchers will also find this
book useful.
