Abstract :
This work investigates two modeling approaches for the amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) noise of a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA), namely a frequency-domain approach (FDA) and a time-domain approach (TDA). The theoretical results are then compared with experimental ones obtained from a commercial device.
