Abstract :
The authors show that gain recovery times of ~10 ps are achievable in semiconductor laser amplifiers using an optical beam to speed the gain recovery rate. This technique should permit high data rate (up to 100 Gbit/s) all optical signal processing applications (e.g. demultiplexing, clock recovery)
