Abstract
Due to small net optical gain in Nonlinear Optical Loop Mirrors based on Transparent Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers (TSOA-NOLMs), a high pump pulse power is usually required to achieve a specific switching output energy. In this article, it is shown that calculations predict that long SOAs can be employed in TSOA-NOLMS to not only considerably reduce the pump power dependence of the transparency carrier density of the SOAs but also to significantly increase the transmission of the switches.
