摘要：
Detailed theoretical analysis of cross-gain,(XG) wavelength conversion in quantum dot semiconductor optical amplifier (QD-SOA) is presented. The model takes into account the effect of the excited states, the wetting layer (WL) and the nonlinear, optical gain of the dots. An analytical model of the small-signal XG conversion efficiency is also derived. The XG efficiency shows strong dependence on the escape and relaxation lifetimes between the ground and excited states. The model/analysis provides insight on the escape/relaxation lifetime of QD lasers which is very important for characterizing and understanding the performance characteristics of QD devices.
