The semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) has emerged as an important component in many optical fibre communication, switching and signal processing systems. Besides its basic use as an in-line amplifier, SOAs have found use in a myriad of applications. This book provides a comprehensive and detailed treatment of the design and applications of SOAs. It should be a useful information source for researchers and engineers involved in SOA and optical systems design and manufacturing. It should also be of use to graduate students in optoelectronics, optical communications and optical engineering, entering this rapidly growing field of research and development.
