摘要

A simple all-optical add-drop multiplexer scheme is presented by utilizing cross gain modulation (XGM) and four-wave mixing (FWM) effects in a single semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA). When the synchronized data stream and control signal is launched into a SOA, FWM generates the dropped channel, while XGM is used to clean the corresponding bit slots for adding new data. This function is demonstrated at 10 Gbit/s by simulation and experiment. Both of them show good performance.
