Semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) leverage semiconductors as the gain medium to increase optical launch power, compensating for the loss of optical power in other optical devices. Primarily seen in telecommunication systems as Fiber-Pigtailed components, these components operate at signals with wavelengths between 0.85 and 1.6 micrometers (1 micrometer = 0.000001m). For compensating the loss, the […]
Optical devices, optoelectronic devices and semiconductor optical devices are used to control and generate light as well as manipulate light for different applications. Such devices are used in many different industries like military, health, medicine and telecommunications. They have also transformed communication on an entirely different scale as optical devices are the reason television exists. […]
