Abstract :
Semiconductor optical amplifiers have been used as key optical components for high capacity communication systems. Monolithic integration is necessary for the stable operation of these devices and for wider applications. In this paper, the coupling technique between different waveguides was discussed and research results about optical devices integrated with SOAs were presented. In particular laser amplifier gate switch arrays have been discussed.
