摘要
A new conception of effective gain recovery time of semiconductor optical amplifier ( SOA) was brought forward, and a simple analytical expression for the gain recovery time was derived. Factors that affect gain recovery time, such as bias current, probe power and device length were analyzed respectively on the base is of application of SOA to the cross gain modulation wavelength conversion. Gain recovery time was measured experimentally. It is shown that the experimental result agrees well with the theoretical calculation.
