Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers and, their Application for All Optical, Wavelength Conversion
All optical networks and switches are envisioned as a solution to the increasing complexity and power consumption of today’s communication networks who rely on optical fibers for the transmission of information but use electronics at the connecting points on the network (nodes) to perform the switching operation. All optical networks, in contrast, will use simple signalling methods to trigger all optical switches to forward the optical data, from one optical fiber to another, without the need to convert the information carried by the optical signal into an electric one.
