Abstract
The dynamic gain responses of the semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) in a terahertz optical asymmetric demultiplexer (TOAD) to intense control puls es with different input energies and pulse widths are investigated. The inf luences on the switching characteristics of TOAD for different control puls e energies, widths, loop time asymmetry, and time delays between the signal pulse and control pulse are studied and analyzed in detail. The theoretica l analysis coincides well with the experimental result.
