Abstract :
Experimental results of four-wave mixing in linear and nonlinear semiconductor optical amplifiers of various cavity lengths are presented. The characterization involves variation of power, wavelength, detuning, and optical polarization. In addition, the relative efficiency of those optical amplifiers for wavelength conversion is analyzed.
