摘要
A new type of semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA), consisting of a singlemode waveguide with a 1 x 1 multimode-interferometer (MMI) section, is proposed and experimental results presented. Maintaining single lobed outputs, these new MMI amplifiers show improvements of 2dB in gain and 5dB in saturation output compared to regular single-stripe SOAs.
