摘要

In this letter, we proposed an asymmetrical interferometer to compensate the pattern effect in semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) as an inline amplifier in dense wavelength-division-multiplexing (DWDM) system. In this letter, experiments are demonstrated with a commercial integrated Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI)-SOA. The experiments showed that in a 16 × 10-Gb/s DWDM system, the power penalty induced by the SOA decreased from 6.8 to 0.9 dB by the interference at 1 mW input power, and the input power dynamic range of the SOA was efficiently extended.
