Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers

CIP’s range of SOAs are designed and optimized for Pre-Amplification, Booster Amplification, Switching and Wavelength Conversion applications. CIP’s SOAs operate in the 1550nm window

The SOA is provided in a package suitable for easy use in the lab, but may also be provided in a customer defined package or in chip-on-carrier format with specifications to be agreed.

	Standard SOA-S-OEC-1550 The SOA-S-OEC amplifier is a low confinement factor device optimised for high gain, low noise and high saturated output power applications. More... Linear SOA-L-OEC-1550 The Linear SOA is a low confinement factor device optimised for moderate gain, low noise and high saturated output power. More... Non-Linear SOA-XN-OEC-1550 The ultra non-linear SOA-XN is a high confinement factor device optimised for high gain and very fast gain recovery providing very fast optical switching speeds. More... Non-Linear SOA-NL-OEC-1550 The Non-linear SOA is a high confinement factor device optimised for high gain and fast optical recovery and hence fast switching speeds. More... Reflective SOA-R-OEC-1550 The Reflective SOA is a polarisation dependent gain block with an ultra-low front facet reflectivity (<10-5). It is ideal as a gain block for external cavity lasers or other reflective device technologies. More... Reflective SOA-RL-OEC-1550 The Reflective SOA is a low polarisation dependent gain version of CIP's reflective SOA. It has ultra-low front facet reflectivity (<10-5). It is ideal as a reflective colourless amplifying modulator in WDM-PON schemes and as a gain block for external cavity lasers. More...
