The Impact

Knowing the various physical mechanisms of the semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) helps us to develop a more complete numerical model. It also enables us to simulate more realistically the static behavior of the SOA<sub>s</sub>’ birefringence effect. This way, it allows us to study more precisely the behavior of SOA<sub>s</sub>, and particularly the impact of the amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) or the pump and probe signals as well as the optical functions based on the non-linearity of the component. In static regime, the SOA<sub>s</sub> possess a very low amplification threshold and a saturation power of the gain which mainly depends on the optical power injected into the active region. Beyond the optical input power, the SOA is in the saturated gain regime which gives it a nonlinear transmission behavior. Our detailed numerical model offers a set of equations and an algorithm that predict their behavior. The equations form a theoretical base from which we have coded our model in several files.cpp that the <strong>Language C++</strong> executes. It has enabled us, from the physical and geometrical parameters of the component, to recover all the relevant values ​​for a comprehensive study of SOA<sub>s</sub> in static and dynamic regimes. In this paper, we propose to make a static characterization of the effect of the nonlinear polarization rotation by realizing a pump-probe assemblage to control the power and state of polarization at the entering of the SOA.

AbstractThis paper investigates the number of nodes supported in bus and ring network topologies based on bias current of semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) at 10 Gb/s. It is found that in bus topology, maximum 91 nodes are supported for 400 mA bias current of SOA at –30 dBm signal input power. In ring topology, more than 100 nodes are supported for 400 mA current of SOA. It is also found that for 100 mA current, 28 nodes are supported in bus topology but in ring topology maximum supported nodes are 39. The number of supported nodes increases with increase in bias current of SOA.
