Abstract
An analysis of amplified recirculating structures for producing a pseudo-co ntinuous wave, PCW, signal is presented. Experimentations with amplificatio n provided by EDFA and SOA are shown. Both the hold-on function and the swi tch-off function are analyzed. The comparison between structures with diffe rent amplifiers shows better duration performances for EDFAs, but faster al l-optical operation capabilities for SOAs. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.
