Abstract
A semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) having a gain of >25 dB, noise figure of 19 dBm, over the record widest bandwidth of 90 nm among all kinds of optical amplifiers, and also having a penalty-free output power of 23 dBm, the record highest among all the SOAs, was realized by using quantum dots.Keywords
