A Polarization Insensitive Semiconductor Optical Amplifier
Abstract
This letter proposes an integrated InGaAsP-InP/silicon-on-insulator (SOI) polarization insensitive semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA). The SOA consists of an SOI waveguide-based polarization diversity circuit and an InGaAsP-InP gain block. Input light with arbitrary linear polarization state will pass through the gain block twice for a roundtrip with mutually orthogonal polarization state in its forward and backward path, respectively. As …
