C. Knoll et al., Optimization of signal transmission by an in-line semiconductor optical amplifier-saturable absorber module, OPT COMMUN, 187(1-3), 2001, pp. 141-153
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.
