In addition to this i share the SOA specifications
• Gain of about 30dB or greater
• Wavelength in the range from 1280 nm to 1650 nm
• Maximum saturation of about 18 dBm
• Noise figure in the order of 8 dB
• Pump power of about less than 400 mA
• bandwidth (3dB) – 60
• Polarization sensitivity available with SOA
The Working Principle Of SOA as:
1.Stimulated emission to amplify an optical signal.
2.Active region of the semiconductor.
3.Injection current to pump electrons at the conduction band.
4.The input signal stimulates the transition of electrons down to the valence band to acquire an amplification.
