Abstract
We have realized a hybrid integrated gain-clamped semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) module, in which UV-gratings written on PLC waveguides are used as external mirrors for laser oscillation. This structure makes it very easy to fabricate multi-channel gain-clamped SOA modules with good gain uniformity among channels.
