Abstract
Optical amplification issues in packet-switched networks are often underestimated. In fact, EDFAs have been shown to be seriously impaired by burst-mode packet traffic, due to their internal time-dependent gain dynamics. In this scenario, Linear Optical Amplifiers (LOA) may find an interesting and cost-effective application. LOAs are novelgain-stabilized low-cost SOAs, which already received much attention for cross-gain modulation (XGM) suppression in WDM transmission. In this paper, we present a detailed experimental and theoretical investigation on LOAs used as key amplification blocks for burst-mode packet applications and, in particular, in the MAN WDM packet network demonstrator “WONDER”.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
