dc.description.abstract | Semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOA) have been widely used in communications systems for
decades, in a multitude of capacities. In their simplest form SOAs offer cost effective linear
amplification at a variety of wavelengths, simultaneously covering a large gain bandwidth, with
the added benefit of practical photonic integration. They are electrically pumped and have
good thermal stability, all packaged within a very small volume. In addition to this, SOAs
can be operated as non-linear entities under saturation, with the capability to perform alloptical
functional duties over a range of configurations and data rates far beyond the realm of
commercial high-speed electronics currently used for signal processing. These latter attributes
are becoming ever more important as our appetite for digital information drives bandwidth
consumption to greater heights. | |
