چکیده

We model the non-linear gain characteristics of a Fabry-Perot semiconductor optical amplifier using a modified photon density rate equation. Good agreement is found with experimental results, with the simulation accurately reproducing all the major characteristics of the amplifier. To our knowledge, this is the first calculation using only the rate equations that accurately predicts the gain and nonlinear behavior of FPSOAs.

New photon density rate equation for Fabry-Perot Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers

Two different approaches are commonly used for Fabry-Perot Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers (FP SOAs) performance analysis: the Fabry-Perot resonator approach and rate equation approach. Compared with the Fabry-Perot resonator approach, the rate equation approach is more powerful because noise and mode-related performance analysis can be included. However, it has been shown that the results bas...

Mode-resolved Fabry-Perot experiment in low-loss Bragg-reflection waveguides.

Based on the interaction between different spatial modes, semiconductor Bragg-reflection waveguides (BRWs) provide a highly functional platform for non-linear optics. For achieving any desired quantum optical functionality, we must control and engineer the properties of each spatial mode. To reach this purpose we extend the Fabry-Perot technique and achieve a detailed linear optical characteriz...
