Applications of multiple quantum well saturable absorbers in long distance ultrafast optical fibre transmission systems

Optically non-linear multiple quantum wells (MQWs) can be used for regeneration in periodically amplified optical fibre transmission systems, or as the basis of all-optical switches with applications including wavelength conversion. This thesis investigates the use of InGaAsP/InGaAsP MQW devices for...
