RESUMO

The use of wavelenght-division multiplex (WDM) optical networks is a solution for the data-rate increasing in telecommunications systems. For a good performance of such networks, the use of wavelength converter based on semiconductor optical amplifier is important, since this one allows all-optical signal processing, as well as more flexibility in the spectral use of optical signals, assigned at different wavelengths. Therefore, the study of wavelength converters based on cross-gain modulation of semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) is presented. The SOA and its converter?s theoretical study are presented, followed by the experimental set-up for the conversion, and last by the comparison with simulated results. For simulation procedures, the study of certain parameters and its relation to conversion efficiency is carried out. Performance improvements in the converter operation are presented as well as indications for further works
