摘要:
We propose a mechanism which may shorten the gain recovery time in semiconductor optical amplifiers. The mechanism is carrier diffusion from nearby carrier storage regions (carrier reservoirs), which enhances the carrier recovery process in the active region and consequently reduces the gain recovery time. Bias‐independent recovery times as short at 100 ps are demonstrated in a 1.3‐&mgr;m traveling‐wave amplifier.
