Abstract :
In this paper, an arbitrary chirped pulse (ACP)-finite difference time domain (FDTD) method is developed where pulse data can be read in from a data file. This has allowed the FDTD code to be used in combination with a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) model to study 2R regeneration using 2D photonic crystal waveguide for sub-picosecond pulses
