Abstract :
A full time-domain model for semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOA) is proposed where the whole spontaneous emission (SE) noise bandwidth is amplified by implementing the material gain dispersion as a finite impulse response (FIR) filter function. The model is validated through comparison to experimental results from a commercial device.
