Abstract :
We discuss optimum design strategies for high-efficiency hybrid semiconductor optical amplifiers. Optimizing the bonding layer, III-V wafer stack design, straight hybrid amplifier dimensions, and flared amplifier configurations leads to a design for up to 35% wall-plug efficiency at 2mW input and 10dB gain.
