Abstract :
Summary form only given. Semiconductor optical amplifiers offer a wide range of optical processing functions including WDM signal amplification, optical gating, all-optical signal processing like wavelength conversion, regeneration, demultiplexing, logic functions. This tutorial will review the progress of SOA-based functions exploiting both linear and nonlinear operation
