3.8 dB Noise figure in bulk semiconductor optical amplifier
(2013)The present paper reports numerical and experimental investigation of noise figure of a multi-section semiconductor optical amplifier. The designed amplifier shows a 3.8dB noise figure, which seems to be the lowest figure ... -
Characterization of a multi-electrode bulk-SOA for low NF in-line amplification in passive optical networks
(2010)A bulk semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) utilizing a multi-contact biasing method is characterized as a function of the bias current supplied to each section Firstly, amplified spontaneous emission spectra and ... -
Novel design for noise controlled semiconductor optical amplifier
(2009)The use of semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOA) in optical communications networks has so far been limited due to their inherent large noise figure (NF) compared to Erbium Doped Fibre Amplifiers. Therefore improvement ...
