Abstract
Gain-clamped semiconductor optical amplifiers (GCSOA’s) are promising candidates for wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) applications due to their low inter-channel crosstalk and high saturation output power, obtained by the gain-clamping [1]. However, in this presentation we will show that, although the gain is clamped, some inter-channel crosstalk still occurs due to longitudinal spatial hole burning.
