Abstract
A broadband semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) has been realized for the coarse WDM (CWDM) based systems operating over the O-band range. The SOA exhibits low polarization sensitivity, 23 dB gain and low noise based on the asymmetric multi-quantum well (AMQW) technique. Reflective SOAs (for modulating the upstream data in passive optical networks (PONs)) as well as in-line or booster amplifiers in CWDM systems are some of the applications of such a SOA.
