We report an experimental investigation of the conversion efficiency of a frequency converter based on four-wave mixing in semiconductor optical amplifiers. We find that the maximum of conversion efficiency has a nonlinear dependence on the unsaturated gain of the device. The observed features are explained by the presence of the Auger and bimolecular recombination.

Abstract
We report an experimental investigation of the conversion efficiency of a frequency converter based on four-wave mixing in semiconductor optical amplifiers. We find that the maximum of conversion efficiency has a nonlinear dependence on the unsaturated gain of the device. The observed features are explained by the presence of the Auger and bimolecular recombination.File in questo prodotto:
