Comparison of Basic Notch Filters for Semiconductor Optical Amplifier Pattern Effect Mitigation

We conduct a thorough comparison of two basic notch filters employed to mitigate the pattern effect that manifests when semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) serve linear amplification purposes. The filters are implemented using as the building architecture the optical delay interferometer (ODI) a...
