Abstract :
Using a traveling-wave semiconductor optical amplifier the authors have demonstrated simultaneous amplification of a 20-channel multiwavelength signal. The channels occupied a band 34 nm wide centered at 1.54 μm, and 6 dB to 8 dB net gains were obtained. Bit error rate measurements at 1 Gb/s showed smaller receiver penalties due to amplifier noise and interchannel crosstalk
