Abstract
High performance, polarisation-independent semiconductor optical ampli fiers based on low-tensile-strained separate confinement heterostructu res and integrated with a double core taper have been realised. Fibre- to-fibre gain as large as 29dB, with TE-TM polarisation sensitivity as low as 0.3dB and an output saturation power of similar to 9dBm are cu rrently achieved.
