| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this work, we demonstrated an optical quantization technique using red frequency chirp in a semiconductor optical amplifier. First, we investigated the performance of optical filters for slicing input signal pulse induced by red frequency chirp. And, to optimize the optical quantization performance, we evaluated the input power dependence on the performance. Lastly, we successfully achieve 10-GSamples/s, 15-level optical quantization using frequency chirp in a quantum-dot semiconductor optical amplifier. The scheme has much lower input signal power than previously reported schemes.
