Abstract :
SOA-based devices provide a family of key components for optical networks, including wavelength conversion, regeneration, space switching and wavelength selection. All these functions require integration of multiple SOAs that calls for efficient combination of monolithic and hybrid integration to reach performances and cost effective solutions. Several examples are presented and discussed
