Abstract

The present invention relates to a semiconductor optical element for processing at least one optical pulse, comprising an optical path for propagating the optical pulse through the optical element from an input to an output, one or more pairs of optical processing units being situated in the optical path, wherein each pair of optical processing units comprises at least one saturable optical amplifier and at least one saturable optical absorption unit, the absorption element being arranged for entering into saturation when a pulse energy received by the absorption element is higher than a saturation energy of the absorption element, and the amplifier elements being arranged for entering into saturation when a pulse energy received by the amplifier element is higher than a saturation energy of the amplifier element, whilst it holds for each pair of processing units that the saturation energy of the absorption element is lower than the saturation energy of the amplifier element.
