1530-1557nm Semiconductor Optical Amplifier

1530-1557nm Semiconductor Optical Amplifier

Semiconductor Optical Amplifier (SOA) is a PN junction device with a quantum well structure. Under external forward bias, population inversion is achieved, which induces stimulated radiation via optical signals to realize optical signal amplification.SOA features low cost, compact size and easy integration. In the era of new infrastructure, it is widely applied in access networks, metropolitan network edges and optical fiber sensing fields.
