Semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) are amplifiers which use a semiconductor to provide the gain medium. These amplifiers have a similar structure to Fabry–Pérot laser diodes but with anti-reflection design elements at the end faces. Recent designs include anti-reflective coatings and tilted wave guide and window regions which can reduce end face reflection to less than 0.001%. Since this creates a loss of power from the cavity which is greater than the gain, it prevents the amplifier from acting as a laser.
If the carrier density exceeds the transparency carrier density then the material can have optical gain and the device can be used to amplify optical signals via stimulated emission. During operation as an
Optical amplifier An optical signal propagating in a fiber will be attenuated. The optical signal must be amplified to compensate for losses in the fiber. Amplifying optical signals is a multi step process.
All three optical amplifiers utilize a semiconductor device as either the gain medium or as an optical pump source. The key performance parameters for optical amplifiers are summarized in Figure 1
