Flight Synchronization
Abstract
The goal of the research is to better use the high bandwidth potential of optical fiber by accomplishing the usually electronics based functions of input, output, regeneration, noise suppression, and synchronization in optics. A simple system that exhibits these features is an optical buffer or "memory". The memory supports insertion and readout of full packets by means of a gap between packets. Amplification is done using a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA), and noise reduction is accomplished by a loop mirror containing an SOA as a nonlinear element. Synchronization is approached through gain modulation of the SOA.
