Abstract

A novel method to suppress the waveform distortion and compress frequency chirp in SOAs as in-line amplifiers in WDM networks is proposed and experimented. The results show that the signal distortion and pattern effect are reduced significantly and over 5dB expansion of input dynamic range is achieved.
