Abstract
This paper reviews the characteristics and applications of semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) in subcarrier multiplexed optical systems with theoretical and experimental approach. The main characteristics, application possibilities, optimal operation point from the bit error rate point of view were studied and a interesting alternative concept with semiconductor optical amplifier branching stages was suggested.
