Effect of input signal and filter parameters on patterning effect in a semiconductor optical amplifier
چکیده انگلیسی
A numerical investigation is presented to show the dependence of patterning effect (PE) of an amplified signal in a bulk semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) and an optical bandpass filter based amplifier on various input signal and filter parameters considering both the cases of including and excluding intraband effects in the SOA model. The simulation shows that the variation of PE with input energy has a characteristic nature which is similar for both the cases. However the variation of PE with pulse width is quite different for the two cases, PE being independent of the pulse width when intraband effects are neglected in the model. We find a simple relationship between the PE and the signal pulse width. Using a simple treatment we study the effect of the amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) on PE and find that the ASE has almost no effect on the PE in the range of energy considered here. The optimum filter parameters are determined to obtain an acceptable extinction ratio greater than 10 dB and a PE less than 1 dB for the amplified signal over a wide range of input signal energy and bit-rate.
