Popis: | A 1310-nm reflective semiconductor optical amplifier with a gain uncertainty of only 0.8 dB at an average gain level of over 30 dB has been demonstrated using a microoptic polarization reversing retroreflector. For this amplifier 3-dB saturation output powers of up to 10 dBm and a noise figure of 7.5 dB have been obtained. A low gain uncertainty for undefined input signal polarization states and input signal wavelengths (which may vary over several nanometers) is of primary importance in switching applications. |
