Where to Buy Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers

Semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) amplify telecom signals at wavelengths like 1.3 μm or 1.55 μm, and are also used in signal processing applications, such as channel translation in Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) systems. Tapered amplifiers, a type of SOA, can deliver output powers of several watts, making them versatile tools in optical communications and signal enhancement.

SHIPS TODAY : AeroDIODE offers various SOA (Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers) modules in a butterfly package covering the 750–1650 nm wavelength range. The SOAs have all high gain (in the 25–35 dB range) and high output power (in the 20–23 dB range). A special SOA-based high-speed intensity modulator and optical switch is also offered as a turn-key solution. Key features are high speed (down to 1 ns rise/fall time), high dynamic range (>48 dB), high extinction ratio (>50 dB) and an easy to use graphical user interface with multiple software libraries (LabVIEW, Python etc.). AeroDIODE also offers the SOA driver alone in either CW or pulsed configuration.

semiconductor optical amplifiers

Spectra Quest Lab offers 1-W class wide band semiconductor optical amplifiers in the 900-nm and 1-μm band. The SOAs are capable of efficient coupling to PM fiber. Unlike tapered amplifiers, its SOA has extremely low wavelength and LD current dependence of coupling efficiency to PM fiber, making it suitable for applications involving wavelength tuning of input light and LD modulation. In addition, its pulse current driver can easily generate nanosecond pulses.

semiconductor optical amplifiers

Tapered laser amplifiers combine the beam quality of a ridge waveguide laser with the high power known from broad area lasers. If you need high power and small spot size, this is the laser for you. eagleyard manufactures tapered lasers between 730 nm and 1083 nm with high brightness and the smallest divergence. Output powers from 500 mW to 2000 mW are available.
