Improvement of modulation/switching performances by using a two-section semiconductor optical amplifier

Improvement of modulation/switching performances by using a two-section semiconductor optical amplifier

By optimizing the carrier distribution along the longitudinal axis of a two‐section semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA), we have improved the modulation/switching performances (modulation index and efficiency, switching contrast) with respect to those of a single‐section component. The modulation...

Zusammenfassung:By optimizing the carrier distribution along the longitudinal axis of a two‐section semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA), we have improved the modulation/switching performances (modulation index and efficiency, switching contrast) with respect to those of a single‐section component. The modulation efficiency has been raised by up to 137%. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 31: 126–129, 2001.
