Abstract :
Insights into nonlinear material properties of bulk semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) and novel quantum-dot (QD) SOA nonlinear materials have led to novel device configuration for all-optical wavelength conversion and signal regeneration. The paper will review latest developments and discuss novel configurations.
