Semiconductor Optical Amplifier Noise Analysis
We introduce a novel measurement method for the phase noise measurement of optical amplifiers, topologically similar to the Heterodyne Mach-Zehnder Interferometer but governed by different principles, and we report on the measurement of a fibered amplifier at 1. Abstract: In this letter, we address one of the essential processes to consider in long Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers (SOAs) analysis, which is the noise. Particularly, we investigate the impact of noise effects on the SOA behavior by measuring the gain, the optical signal to noise ratio and the.
