Abstract :
The ability of an optical delay interferometer (ODI) to suppress the pattern effect in a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) whose dynamic response is slower than the period of its driving high-speed return-to-zero (RZ) data signal is demonstrated through numerical simulation and theoretical analysis.
