Abstract
A simple time-domain model is presented that can predict optical pulse propagation in reflective semiconductor optical amplifiers (RSOAs). The RSOA saturation energy, effective lifetime and material gain coefficient parameters used in the model are determined using experimental measurements of the input and output pulse temporal profiles to the RSOA and Levenberg-Marquardt parameter extraction algorithm. The model accurately predicts the propagation of 50.4 ps pulsewidth high-power pulses in the RSOA.
