Abstract
We firstly propose a new system for simultaneous fast and slow light generation using a soliton pulse propagating within the nonlinear micro-ring resonators. The nonlinear Kerr effect induces the spreading frequency bands within the micro-ring device, where the chaotic filtering characteristics can be employed using the appropriate micro-ring parameters. Results obtained have shown that the wide spreading of frequency bands can be generated and selected to form the optical wireless communication links. In this work, the selected down-link and up-link frequency bands are 500 MHz and 2 GHz, respectively. The proposed system can be implemented within the mobile telephone hand set, where the two different frequency carriers within the same frequency bands can be selected to form the up-down-link converters, which means that the frequency converter can be performed within a single system. © 2009 Elsevier GmbH.
