Abstract
A novel output modulation power monitor and control scheme based on semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOA) was proposed which avoids the need for optical power monitoring. The performance of the SOA based gate was evaluated by measuring its gain versus input power characteristics. A direct relationship was found between the output power level and the rf monitor current. The radio frequency (rf) monitor current was independent of the SOA dc drive current and the input optical power.
