【Abstract】 The noise character of strained MQW semiconductor optical amplifier has been studied in the paper. 7.7 dB noise figure of SOA directly coupled with fiber in both ends at 130 mA bias current shows that the noise character of SOA is improved by strained quantum well structure. Theoretical study explains experimental result and shows that the noise figure of SOA can be further improved by reducing residual reflectivity.更多还原
