  • Abstract
    Trade-off between amplifier gain and optical bandwidth is investigated in the case of novel long-wavelength vertical-cavity semiconductor optical amplifiers. In agreement with measurements, simple formulas for the gain-bandwidth product are presented. Mirror optimisation promises gain-bandwidth products in the THz range
