| Abstract: | The white optical noise (spontaneous-spontaneous beat noise) generated by amplified spontaneous emission from a semiconductor-optical amplifier is used to measure the frequency response of over-wide-bandwidth photodetectors and optical receivers. This technique can be used to characterize optoelectronic components of arbitrarily wide bandwidths |
