Abstract
A novel wideband polarization-insensitive semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) gate containing compressively strained InGaAs quantum wells and tensile-strained InGaAs quasi-bulk layers is developed. The fabricated SOA gates have a wide 3-dB optical bandwidth of 102 nm, less than 0.8-dB polarization sensitivity, more than 50-dB extinction ratio, and less than 75-mA fiber-to-fiber lossless operating current.
