The device, based on a GaAs/AlGaAs quantum-well epitaxial structure, has dimensions of 0.6 mm × 1.3 mm and a latency of 49.2 ps. It is composed of a loop amplifier, a multimode interference waveguide amplifier (MMIWA), an input leg, and an output leg. The functions of the MMIWA include input/output power splitting and nonlinear coupling. Those of the loop include signal amplification, rearrangement of the field distribution in the MMIWA, and asymmetric gain/phase modulation between the two counterpropagating signals. With these functions combined, quite efficient power-dependent switching was implemented. Numerical-simulation results agreed well in trends with experimental data. From the results of output pulse width and the pump-probe measurements, it is expected that high-speed operation of the device for all-optical modulation and multiplexing/demultiplexing is feasible. © 2001 Optical Society of America. |
