AB - Functionality improvement of a non-linear semiconductor optical amplifier for multi-wavelength generation is reported. A microfiber Mach–Zehnder interferometer (MMZI) is incorporated to enhance the multi-wavelength generation performance in terms of optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) and full-width-half-maximum linewidth. The proposed scheme offers better dynamic functionality, with flexible tunable and switchable properties. Incorporating the MMZI causes spatial mode beating interference, resulting in narrow bands and power-efficient modes. Tunable and switchable octuple wavelength is demonstrated using non-linear polarization rotation (NPR), with frequency separation with respect to the free spectral range of the implemented MMZI over a greater than 30 nm span. The NPR effect is induced to suppress mode competition within the homogeneous broadening linewidth of the employed semiconductor optical amplifier.
