Coherent pulse re-shaping in a semiconductor optical amplifier — •Mitra Pasche, Mirco Kolarczik, Yücel Kaptan, Nina Owschimikow, and Ulrike Woggon — Institut für Optik und Atomare Physik, Technische Universität Berlin, Germany

Recently it was demonstrated that Rabi oscillations in Quantum Dots (QDS) induce a laser pulse re-shaping in a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) at room temperature[1]. Here we present the results of a systematic investigation of the dependence of the pulse re-shaping on pulse power, detuning and the electrical injection level. The measurements are performed using frequency resolved optical short-pulse characterization by heterodyning (FROSCH)[1]. The method allows to observe simultaneously the amplitude and phase of the light field of the laser pulse relative to a reference pulse. In numerical simulations, we vary the parameters of the probe pulse and quantify their influence on the shape of the cross-correlation of the probe and reference pulse. We can thus assign characteristic phase jumps observed in the experiment to a coherent exchange of energy in the light-matter system.
