Temperature Independent Optical Amplification in Uncooled Quantum Dot Optical Amplifiers

摘要

1.3 mum QD SOAs are shown to provide 19 dB optical gain at temperatures up to 70 degC, allowing < 0.1 dB system penalty at 10 Gb/s. The gain is constant to within plusmn 3.5 dB from 20degC-70degC for 10 nm spectral bandwidth.
