            Abstract : 
We developed polarization-independent high-power superluminescent diodes (SLDs) for wavelength division multiplexed-passive optical network (WDM-PON) applications. The SLD presents CW output power of 150 mW, spectral bandwidth of 40 nm, polarization-dependent power variation of less than 1 dB, and spectral ripple of 3 dB at current of 1.47 A and temperature of 25 degC
