Abstract
The switching performance of the semiconductor laser amplifier in a loop mirror (SLALOM) with a polarization-independent multiquantum-well SLA influenced by the carrier transport is discussed. It is shown that the switching window is polarization-dependent in the case of ultra-short pulses used as switching pulses because of the carrier transport effect between quantum wells. The influence of polarization can be suppressed by modifying the polarization state of local switching pulses.
