Practical method for modelling the nonlinear behaviour of a travelling wave semiconductor optical amplifier [PDF]
, 1993 The authors present a simple model of a travelling wave semiconductor optical amplifier with an appreciable degree of saturation. The model uses a particular way of linearising the total carrier recombination R(N) to find useful expressions for the ...

Invited Article: Four-mode semiconductor optical amplifier
APL Photonics, 2016 We demonstrate the first few-mode semiconductor optical amplifier (FM SOA) that supports up to four waveguide modes. We show that each of the modes are confined to the waveguide, overlapping the quantum wells with approximately the same amount, leading ...
