Analysis of input pump pulse energy optimization for maximum four-wave mixing conversion efficiency in semiconductor optical amplifier

We configure the input pump pulse energy of semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) to maximize the four-wave mixing (FWM) conversion efficiency. We simulate the propagation of optical waves in the SOA using the nonlinear propagation equation, taking into account the gain spectrum dynamics, gain sat...
