  • Abstract
    A novel all-optical phase modulation and wavelength conversion has been demonstrated in a traveling wave semiconductor laser amplifier. Even though the optical gain modulation caused by the saturation effect in a traveling wave semiconductor laser amplifier is sensitive to the signal wavelength, the optically controlled phase modulation is relatively independent of the signal wavelength.<>
