Abstract
Polarization sensitivity of semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) with de lta-strained quantum-well(QW) structures is investigated, The valence band structures and TE, TM optical gain spectra are calculated for the various d elta-strained QW structures, It is shown that the number and location of th e delta layers affect the polarization dependence of the delta-strained qua ntum well SOA signal gains. The optimal delta-strained QW structure for the SOA application is identified and its theoretical verification is provided .
