Semiconductor Optical Amplifier (SOA) Small Size and Electrically
Advantages
pumped Semiconductor cavity is used
Consume Less Electrical power Fewer Components, Compact Cheaper than DFA and RFA
Loss of power in the cavity is
greater than the gain.
Disadvantages
University of California Los Angeles - Extension
6
Rapid Gain response High noise, low gain. Polarization dependence High non linearity

Doped Fiber Amplifier (DFA) 7
Amplifier fiber length – 10 to
30 mts. Doped by rare earth elements Group III or V
Advantages
Pump wide range of wavelength Immune to crosstalk and intermodulation distortion Low dependence of Gain on light polarization Customizable
Erbium, Ytterbium, Thulium
Operating region – 1530 to
1560 nm but extensible
Disadvantages
Special fiber design Precise power loss estimation
Low pump Power
