Abstract: | A novel method to measure the gain and refractive index characteristics of traveling-wave semiconductor optical amplifier (TMA) is presented. In-out fiber ends of TWA are used to construct an external cavity resonator to produce big ripple on amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) spectrum. By this means, Hakki-Paoll method is adopted to obtain the gain spectra of TWA over a wide spectral range. From measured longitudinal mode spacing and peak wavelength shift due to increased bias current, we further calculate the effective refractive index and the refractive index change. Special feature of refractive index change above lasing threshold is revealed and explained. |
