Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

The application of bias current feedback to a semiconductor optical amplifier is shown to improve considerably its noise and distortion performance in analogue applications. Improvements in harmonic distortion of up to 12.75dB, and in noise levels of up to 7.5dB, have been achieved.
