Abstract
High-speed semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) are required in many devices for all-optical processing in WDM networks. They can be used as linear devices (optical gates for optical switching for example) or they can be required for their nonlinear properties (to realize complex functions like wavelength conversion).
