Description
Semiconductor-based Ultra-Fast All-Optical Signal ProcessingDevices -a key technology for the next generation ofultrahigh bandwidth optical communication systems!
The introduction of ultra-fast communication systems based onall-optical signal processing is considered to be one of the mostpromising ways to handle the rapidly increasing globalcommunication traffic. Such systems will enable real timesuper-high definition moving pictures such as high realityTV-conference, remote diagnosis and surgery, cinema entertainmentand many other applications with small power consumption. The keyissue to realize such systems is to develop ultra-fast opticaldevices such as light sources, all-optical gates and wavelengthconverters.
Ultra-Fast All-Optical Signal Processing Devicesdiscusses the state of the art development of semiconductor-basedultrafast all-optical devices, and their various signal processingapplications 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 recentachievements in ultrafast all-optical devices
* Discusses future networks with applications such as HD-TV andsuper-high definition moving screens as a motivating background fordevices research
* Covers mode-locked semiconductor lasers, electro-absorptionmodulator based 160Gb/s signal sources, SOA based symmetricMach-Zehnder type all-optical gates, intersubband transition gatedevice, and more
* Explains the technical issues behind turning the ultra-fastoptical devices into practical working tools
* Examples of above 160Gb/s transmission experiments
* Discusses future prospects of the ultra-fast signal processingdevices
This invaluable reference will provide device researchers andengineers in industry, researchers at universities (includinggraduate students, and post doctorial researchers and professors)and research institutes with a thorough understanding of ultrahighbandwidth optical communication systems. Device and communicationmarket watchers will also find this book useful.
