Abstract
Recent progress in the fabrication of polarization-insensitive Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers (SOAs) has stimulated interest in investigating transmission systems with in-line SOAs [1-3]. The SOAs cover broad wavelength range from 0.7 to 1.6 μm, they are pumped electrically and are substantially cheaper than fiber amplifiers, therefore, SOA is the natural candidate to be an element of all-optical transparent transmission systems.
