Abstract
We present a complete dynamic model of semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) including the inter-channel four-wave mixing (FWM). The model has been implemented using the time-dependent transfer matrix method (TMM) and applying the discretization scheme in both the spatial and spectral domains. In SOA-based wavelength division multiplexing transmission systems using 10-Gb/s differential phase shift keyed (DPSK) signals, the system performance due to the SOA-induced phase-error and the FWM effect has been analyzed. By the injection of a reservoir channel into SOAs, the transmission performance of non-return-to-zero (NRZ) DPSK signals can be improved through the phase-error reduction. Both the NRZ-DPSK and return-to-zero (RZ) DPSK signals are found to be suffered from the FWM-induced crosstalk. The overall nonlinear tolerance of RZ-DPSK is shown to be better than that of NRZ-DPSK.
