Abstract :
We have completed an extensive simulation study of four wave mixing (FWM) and two wave mixing (TWM) in a dual moded semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA). We have also completed beam propagation studies of the device with adiabatic mode sorters and have developed a practical fabrication approach to building a device which requires one regrowth step
