Abstract
The realization of the add/drop functions in the subcarrier multiplexed optical networks is a relevant problem. Namely the channel (a microwave subcarrier with information) branching is difficult in these systems. The application of Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers (SOAs) offers a fine answer for this question, because this device gives favorable properties according to the experimental studies. Noise, transmission performance and application possibilities of semiconductor optical amplifiers are studied, measured and demonstrated in this paper
