Sc, Department of Laser & Optoelectronics Engineering, Nahrian University, Baghdad, Iraq ( Astract: Recently, there is an increasing interest on quantum well (QW) semiconductor optical amplifier in optical communications optical signal processing applications. This paper addresses the dependence of saturation power on QW structure parameters. Expressions are given to assess this dependency the results indicate that the saturation power is a decreasing function of numer of wells, well thickness, amplifier length it is almost independent of arrier thickness. Key Words: Quantum-well semiconductor optical amplifier. 1. Introduction The application of semiconductor quantum well (QW) devices in optoelectronics has progressed significantly in recent years, driven y the expectation of superior device performance with reduced dimensionality [1]. For example, QW semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) offer many advantages over ulk counterparts such as high differential gain, ultra fast gain recovery, low noise operation [2-4]. These devices are exploited in optical networks as active nonlinear elements for alloptical signal processing at high speed [5, 6]. Such applications require knowledge of the saturation power characteristics which affect the ultrafast gain dynamics. The saturation power characteristics of QW amplifiers have een investigated experimentally y different research groups [7-9]. However, the dependence of saturation power on structure parameters of the QW amplifier is not addressed implicitly in the literature. This issue is addressed in this paper 2. Theory Figure 1 shows a simplified schematic diagram for the QW optical amplifier. The amplifier is assumed to e faricated in InGaAsP material system with negligile facet reflectivity to ensure a travelling wave (i.e., single-pass) operation at. The optical gain coefficient depends on injection current input optical power [10, 11] (1) where is small-signal gain coefficient which is a function of carrier density (i.e., injection current), is the input optical power, is the saturation power. Note that when when. Fig. 1 QW optical amplifier [3]. The dependence of on carrier density is expressed as [12] (2) where is the optical confinement, is the material gain constant, is the carrier density for transparency. The injection current is related to carrier density y (3) where is the electron charge, is the volume of active region, is the carrier lifetime. The parameter has a nonlinear dependence of NUCEJ vol.14, No.2, Al-mfrji 205
2 due to the presence of Auger nonradiative recomination in InGaAsP material system [13] (4) where is nonradiative recomination coefficient, is imolecular radiative recomination coefficient, is Auger nonradiative recomination coefficient. The saturation power is related to device structure material parameters [14] (5a) (5) where is Planck s constant, is the speed of light in vacuum, is the operating wavelength. Further, the amplifier active region has length, width, thickness, volume. Investigating eq. (5) reveals that is proportional to the volume of the active region inversely proportional to. The optical amplifier gain is computed from (6a) where is the output power is the internal cavity loss coefficient. Similarly, the small-signal amplifier gain is given y From eqs. (2) (6) (6) (7) Equation (7) determines the required carrier density to achieve a specific value of smallsignal optical gain. Inserting eq. (7) into eq. (4) using the result into eq. (5a) yields Note that when, the amplifier gain reduces y compared the smallsignal gain [15]. Equation (9) can e used to estimate when,, are known (10) It is clear from eq. (5) that is inversely proportional to the optical confinement factor. For multiquantum well (MQW) semiconductor laser, the optical confinement is related to the thickness refractive indices of different layers in the active region [17] (11a) (11) where is the well thickness, is the numer of wells, is the well refractive index, is the arrier thickness, is the numer of arriers, is the arrier refractive index, is the cladding refractive index. In eq. (11), represents the effective refractive index in the active region [17] (12) For a single quantum well (SQW) laser, Then (13) 3. Numerical Results This section presents numerical results to descrie the dependence of QW amplifier saturation power on device structure parameters. Unless otherwise stated, the parameters values used in the calculations are listed in Tale 1 they are typical parameters for InGaAsP QW amplifier operating at 1550nm wavelength. (8) Equation (8) reveals that depends nonlinearly on. The saturation gain characteristics of optical amplifiers are usually characterized y a lumped parameter, namely the output saturation power. The decrease of amplifier gain with input optical power is expressed as [15, 16] (9a) (9) NUCEJ vol.14,no.2, Saturation Gain Characteristics 206
3 Tale 1 Parameters values used in the simulation [8]. (a) Figures 2a-c show the dependence of optical confinement factor on numer of wells, well thickness, arrier thickness, respectively. In these calculations, the numer of arriers is taken as. As expected, the optical confinement factor is an increasing function of, while it is almost independent of. Recall that transversal cross section area of the active region depends on it is independent of.

4 a (c) Fig. 2 (Continued) Figures 3-7 show the dependence of input saturation power output saturation power on numer of wells, well thickness, arrier thickness, active region length, active region width, respectively. The results presented when the amplifier is operating with small-signal gain. The required injection currents to ensure are also included in these figures. Investigating these figures reveals the following findings (i) The saturation power is a decreasing function of numer of wells, well thickness, amplifier length. (ii) The saturation power is almost independent on arrier thickness. (iii) The saturation power increases almost linearly with active region width. Figure 8 shows the dependence of saturation power injection current as a function of amplifier small-signal gain. Note that the input saturation power injection current increase almost linearly with. In contrast, the output saturation power increases rapidly with. For example, when. These values are to e compared with when when when Fig. 3 Dependence of saturation power injection current on numer of wells for a amplifier. NUCEJ vol.14,no.2, Saturation Gain Characteristics 208

Conclusions Expressions are derived to assess the dependence of input output saturation powers on QW semiconductor optical amplifier structure parameters. The results indicate that the saturation power is a decreasing function of numer of wells, well thickness, amplifier length it is independent of arrier thickness. Thus to ensure small saturation power, the amplifier must e designed with few numer of wells small well thickness. 5. References [1] V. Cesari, P. Borri, M. Rossetti, A. Fiore, W.
