Nanostructure Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers

"Nanostructure Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers" reviews all-optical processing methods currently available and presents semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) as a new building block for this purpose. The authors discuss the overcomes of high frequency operation of SOAs and propose a new all-optical pumping method for the implementation of semiconductor optical amplifiers.

Presents a new method for realization of all-optical processing and networking Written for all experts in this field Describes a new method to implement all-optical networking and processing Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
