Reflective Semiconductor Optical Amplifier Pulse Propagation Model [PDF]
IEEE Photonics Technology Letters, 2012 A simple time-domain model for optical pulse propagation in a reflective semiconductor optical amplifier (RSOA) is described. The RSOA saturation energy, effective carrier lifetime and spectral hole-burning parameters used in the model are determined using experimental measurements of the input and output pulse temporal profiles to the RSOA and least ...

All-optical power equalization based on a two-section reflective semiconductor optical amplifier
Optics Express, 2013 A simple all-optical power equalization scheme based on a single two-section reflective semiconductor optical amplifier (RSOA) is presented. Double optical path and non-uniform injection current density in the two sections easily saturate the RSOA and suppress pattern effect, thereby significantly reducing packet-to-packet power fluctuation while ...
