Abstract
Optical gate switching for one signal beam using another control beam is presented in a Fabry-Perot semiconductor laser amplifier. High-speed switching, where the signal output is on without the control beam and off with it, is demonstrated employing modulation of an 800 Mbit/s pulse pattern.
