Dear Friends
I have a question on SOA. Please help
It has been learnt that if AWGN/White light source is coupled with CW probe and Pump signals (Data signal) and then then cumulative signal is launched in a SOA for XPM and amplification,then the SOA is very less noise tolerant and the pulse shapes and Eye diagram badly degrades.Why SOA is very sensitive to noise and less immune to noise?
please comment and share any written literature on this property of the SOA
regards
.
