Abstract
A semiconductor optical amplifier device includes an active layer, an n-type InP substrate, an n-type InP clad layer, a p-type InP clad layer, p-electrodes and n-electrodes. The active layer is made of, e.g., InGaAsP, and includes a saturable absorption region and optical amplification regions. A common modulated current is injected into each optical amplification region through the p-electrode. A modulated current is injected into the saturable absorption region through the p-electrode independently of the optical amplification region. The active layer receives injection light produced by adding additional noise light to an externally applied light signal, and emits output light produced by amplifying the injection light.
