摘要
An angled facet strained MQW semiconductor laser amplifier with integrated mode expanders has been designed and fabricated. A device with simple single layer antireflection coatings exhibited a maximum of 29dB fibre-to-fibre gain with a minimum noise figure of 7.2dB at 26dB gain and a saturation output power of 7.5dBm. This gain is equal to the highest reported for an SLA operating at 1.5 mu m while the noise performance is superior to that in any published work.
