What is Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers about?

The semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) has emerged as an important component in many optical fiber communication, switching and signal processing systems. Besides its basic use as an in-line amplifier, SOAs have found use in a myriad of applications. Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers provides a comprehensive and detailed treatment of the design and applications of SOAs. Key areas covered include: \* Historical background. \* SOA principles - theory of amplification, gain, noise, noise figure, polarisation dependence, spectral bandwidth, dynamics. \* SOA structures - travelling-wave, Fabry-Perot, DBR, DFB, multi-section, twin-guide, polarisation insensitive configurations, low-reflectivity coatings, angled facets, high-power devices, gain clamped devices, SOA packaging. \* Bulk and quantum-well semiconductor materials. \* Static and dynamic modelling - travelling-wave equations, recombination mechanisms, analytical approximations and computer modelling techniques. SOA optimisation, slow and fast pulse amplification. \* Applications in optical communication systems - direct detection and coherent receivers, amplified light detection statistics, preamplifier, in-line amplifier, boos
