Abstract

Effect of cross-gain-modulating power and wavelength on a reshaped-optical-clock injected SOA at 10 Gbit/s is investigated to achieve pulsed data-pattern transformation with highest extinction ratio of 14.8 dB at input data power of -10 dBm under a modulating power of 17.9 dBm at 1550 nm.
