摘要

A simple design of 1-to-2 photonic data distributor is proposed. A proof-of-concept experiment is performed at 40 Gbit/s employing four-wave mixing and cross gain modulation in a single semiconductor optical amplifier. Correct output logic signals with high extinction ratios ( over 11 dB) and clear open eyes are obtained, without using any additional input light beam. The scheme would be a promising candidate for future ultrafast all-optical signal processing applications.
