The Input Power Dynamic Range of a Semiconductor Optical Amplifier and Its Relevance for Access Network Applications

The input power dynamic range (IPDR) of a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) gives the input power range within which an SOA can be operated error free. It is among the most important parameters describing the usability range of an SOA in an access network. In this paper, we give design guideline...
