Gain Uniformity Optimization of SOA-Based Optical Packet Switching Nodes for Performance and Scalability Improvements

Overview A design methodology is proposed in this paper that can potentially provide effective bandwidth and scalability improvements to optical packet switching environments utilizing semiconductor optical amplifiers as broadcast-and-select switching elements. The design achieves added uniformity in the nodal gain-loss spectrum. The methodology is tested and verified using a commercial device with measurements performed on the gain, noise figure, optical signal-to-noise ratio, and power penalty.
