Detailed Theoretical Model for Adjustable Gain-Clamped Semiconductor Optical Amplifier

The adjustable gain-clamped semiconductor optical amplifier (AGC-SOA) uses two SOAs in a ring-cavity topology: one to amplify the signal and the other to control the gain. The device was designed to maximize the output saturated power while adjusting gain to regulate power differences between packet...
