Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to further simulate the performance of the SOA for improved amplification and switching functions. The SOA is modeled and simulated using OptSim software. The SOA is biased at an optimal 250mA to allow it to seen as both an amplifier and a switch. The SOA parameters used in the simulation are selected from a previous work. A mathematical model is used to aid the design of the SOA and to predict the gain characteristics. The mathematical results are analyzed in order to verify the simulated results.
