Comparison of pulse propagation and gain saturation characteristics among different input pulse shapes in semiconductor optical amplifiers

This paper presents the pulse propagation and gain saturation characteristics for different input optical pulse shapes with different energy levels in semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs). A finite-difference beam propagation method (FD-BPM) is used to solve the modified nonlinear Schrödinger equ...
