Abstract

We derive analytical expressions for carrier-density evolution along a polarization-sensitive semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) that have a range of signal processing applications. The analytical results closely match those obtained through numerical simulations in MATLAB™. © 2006 IEEE.
