Abstract
A polarization insensitive (sensitivity <1 dB) semiconductor optical a mplifier has been realized at 1.55 mu m. The active layer consists of a strain-balanced superlattice structure. Gain polarization insensitiv ity on a large bandwidth (60 nm) together with a 22.5-dB signal gain a nd a 11-dBm polarization-insensitive saturation output power are obtai ned.
