Abstract
A module consisting of a semiconductor optical amplifier and a saturable ab sorber is investigated with respect to gain, pulse and noise dynamics and t heir dependence on device parameters. Based on the analytical and numerical results optimization strategies were found regarding high-bit-rate signal transmission. The results are compared with recently reported experimental data, (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
