Abstract

We demonstrate that the transient coherent nonlinearity (coherent artifact) affecting the pump-probe response of semiconductor optical amplifiers an be experimentally separated from the incoherent transient. The technique is based on measuring the mirror component of the coherent artifact which is a background-free four wave mixing signal at a different frequency with respect to the transmitted probe in a heterodyne detection scheme. Measurements on amplifiers of different length reveal strong deviations from the commonly expected symmetric shape of the coherent artifact in case of long waveguides.
