We demonstrate significant improvement in the measured bit-error rates of 40-Gb/s signals
distorted after passing through a saturated semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) by using a …

Modulation cancellation and signal inversion are demonstrated within reflective
semiconductor optical amplifiers. The effect is necessary to implement colorless optical …

We compare the output spectra and data streams of a conventional 1550-nm semiconductor
optical amplifier (SOA) with its gain-clamped (GCSOA) counterpart, in order to assess the …
