Abstract

The importance of semiconductor optical amplifiers is discussed. A semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) is a semiconductor laser with anti-reflection coated facets that amplifies an injected light signal by means of stimulated emission. SOAs have a number of unique properties that open up significant opportunities in the area of fast, all-optical signal processing. Integrated SOA-based devices are considered suitable for future all-optical systems because of their compact size, low optical and electrical power consumption, polarization independence and high speed.
