Dynamic response of high-speed wavelength selectorusing hybridintegrated four-channel SS-SOA gate array on PLC platform

Abstract
The dynamic response of a high-speed wavelength selector using a fully packaged four-channel semiconductor optical amplifier gate array on a PLC platform is reported. Ultra-wideband (1530 – 1600 nm) operation was successfully demonstrated. The gating time was sufficiently fast at 1 ns. The electrical interference between the channels was negligible.
