The operation of a novel optically modulated vertical-cavity semiconductor optical amplifier with wavelength converting functionality

We present initial results from a novel integrated vertical cavity semiconductor optical amplifier (VCSOA) and wavelength converter. The device can simultaneously emit and detect light. This feature makes it possible to integrate the wavelength conversion into the device. Also by incorporating a 1 l...
