  • Abstract
    A technique to suppress the waveform distortion induced in a gain-saturated semiconductor optical amplifier is described. The use of an optical filter to eliminate the frequency chirping component which accompanies the distortion reshapes the signal waveform. An experiment using a Mach-Zehnder filter confirms the technique
