Abstract

We demonstrated transverse-magnetic (TM)-mode dominated gain at the 1.5μm wavelength in semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) with columnar quantum dots (QDs). We show that we can control the polarization dependence of optical gain in QD-SOAs by changing the height and tensile-strained barrier of columnar QDs. The TM mode gain is 17.3dB and a gain of over 10dB was attained over a wide wavelength range of 200nm. The saturation output power is 19.5dBm at 1.55μm.
