Abstract :
We propose and demonstrate a polarization-insensitive dynamic-gain-transient-compensator (DGTC) for compensating EDFA-amplified-signals after dynamic optical add/drop. 15-dB receiver sensitivity improvement was achieved in the compensated channel. The DGTC can be monolithic-integrated on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) platform
