Abstract
Semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) is one of the commonly used amplifiers in optical networks. This paper reviews the SOA implementation in coarse wavelength division multiplexing (CWDM) systems, which includes the explanation of the fundamental concepts such as the configuration, principle of operation as amplifiers, and the performance in different CWDM topologies. Simulation using OptiSystem software was carried out to determine the gain saturation at high input power and longer wavelengths. It shows that SOA implementation in CWDM networks is capable of providing flat gain for 40 nm wavelength span.
