Abstract
We observe strong distortion of -150 fs pulses after propagation
through a semiconductor optical amplifier. Both pulse narrowing
and breakup is seen. The distortion is due to the interplay of the
Kerr non-linearity and gain dispersion and is important for the
use of SOAs in ultrafast signal processing.
