Abstract
An overview is given of applications of semiconductor optical amplifiers in optical communication systems. Feasibility is demonstrated for optical pre-amplifier and in-line applications. Experiments on WDM transmission are presented as well as the use of gain-clamping to achieve linear or analog-grade amplification
