Why Is Semiconductor Optical Amplifier So Famous Optical Amplifier is an important technology for optical communication System. As we know, there are several types of optical amplifiers, among them, the main amplifier technologies are doped fiber amplifiers, Semiconductor optical amplifier, Fiber Raman Amplifier. Now we are going to study about the Semiconductor Optical Amplifier. Inphenix Design founding team started in 2003 driven by a passion to develop integrated optics. Inphenix design and manufactures all types of products like Superluminescent diodes, Swept Light Source, Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers, Broadband Light Source, Driver board, and many other products. Inphenix all this at its 100,000 square foot facility in beautiful Livermore, California. Inphenix having complete vertical control over the entire design and manufacturing process which allows Inphenix to drive innovation, maintain high quality and minimize costs.
Inphenix also offers medical, dental, and vision plans for employees and their family with the company paid a contribution toward monthly premium costs. For saving future, They also offer a traditional pre-tax 401K plan for retirement saving. “http://www.inphenix.com/en/� Visit this site for the more information about the Inphenix designer and its services and products. A Semiconductor Optical Amplifier (SOA), which is essentially a laser diode with no feedback from its input and output ports and hence it is also referred to as a Travelling Wave Amplifier (TWA). SOA is a combination of Five Parameters which can be used to represent Gain, Gain Bandwidth, Saturation output power, Noise Figure, and Polarization Dependent Gain (PDG). Gain: SOA should have the highest gain appropriate to the application. Gain is the factor by which the input signal is amplified and measured as the ratio of output power to input power. Gain Bandwidth: It defines the range of bandwidth where the amplification function. A wide gain bandwidth is desirable to an amplify a wide range of signal wavelength.
