E. Smith J. Stewart Aitchison Aaron J. Zilkie PhD Candidate In collaboration with: National Research Council of Canada, Ottawa, ON Supervisors: Peter W. E. Smith J. Stewart Aitchison Aaron J. Zilkie PhD Candidate Introduction and Motivation 2) Experimental Setup Heterodyne pump-probe lab setup 3) Ultrafast Dynamics Ultrafast Gain recovery Additional Ultrafast Nonlinearities 4) Conclusions “Single pass laser” – light enters, experiences gain via stimulated emission as it passes through QD SOAs predicted to have 10-100 X faster recovery times than others NRC QDs Novel: First to work at 1.55 μm telecom wavelengths + - p n 500 nm SEM Cross-section SOA used as nonlinear switching element Control pulses induce phase change light can switch light! Nonlinear phase change balanced Supression balanced unbalanced SOA ultrafast dynamics critically influence switching window Our Work: Measure the ultrafast dynamics of novel QD SOAs (amplitude) (phase) (amplitude) t reference pump Δt probe Michelson Interfero
