Book Description
In this book, nonlinear silicon-organic hybrid waveguides and quantum dot semiconductor optical amplifiers are investigated. Advantageous applications are identified, and corresponding proof-of-principle experiments are performed. Highly nonlinear silicon-organic hybrid waveguides show potential for all-optical signal processing based on fourwave mixing and cross-phase modulation. Quantum dot semiconductor optical amplifiers operate as linear amplifiers with a very large dynamic range.
