Quantum-Dot Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers
Proceedings of the IEEE, 2007This paper reviews the recent progress of quantum-dot semiconductor optical amplifiers developed as ultrawideband polarization-insensitive high-power amplifiers, high-speed signal regenerators, and wideband wavelength converters. A semiconductor optical amplifier having a gain of > 25 dB, noise figure of 20 dBm, over the record widest bandwidth of 90

Semiconductor optical amplifiers
Conference Proceedings LEOS'96 9th Annual Meeting IEEE Lasers and Electro-Optics Society, 2002Polarization insensitive semiconductor amplifiers are important devices for many applications. Their small size, high-gain, and ability to be turned on and off fast offer interesting possibilities for photonic switches. We have used a design to implement polarization insensitivity.

Optical bistability in vertical-cavity semiconductor optical amplifiers
Applied Optics, 2006We present an overview of the properties and applications of optical bistability in vertical-cavity semiconductor optical amplifiers (VCSOAs). The basic physics and analytical models of this optical nonlinearity are discussed. Experimental results obtained from a VCSOA operated in the 850 nm wavelength region are presented.
