Abstract
We have carried out gain saturation experiments using pulsed pump and probe beams derived from gain switched DFB semiconductor optical amplifier lasers. The widths of both pump and probe pulses were 35 ps. The gain saturation of the probe takes place only when there is temporal overlap of the pump and probe beams in the amplifier
