We study the amplification of 40 Gb/s RZ signals (having 7 ps-long pulses) in a high gain (30 dB) semiconductor optical amplifier. We report an experimental comparison between straightforward amplification and amplification assisted by the use of both continuous wave (CW) and modulated holding beams.

Abstract

We study the amplification of 40 Gb/s RZ signals (having 7 ps-long pulses) in a high gain (30 dB) semiconductor optical amplifier. We report an experimental comparison between straightforward amplification and amplification assisted by the use of both continuous wave (CW) and modulated holding beams.
