Abstract

We report on the simulation, design and characterization of a new device, named IRIS. It is designed for increasing the optical bandwidth of picosecond pulses to enable further pulse compression or shaping. The IRIS device consists of a concatenated array of semiconductor optical amplifiers and saturable absorbers. It is realized in the InP/InGaAsP material system for the 1550nm range. Simulations and measurements on the realized IRIS devices show increased spectral broadening as compared to an SOA of equivalent length. Moreover simulations show that pulse peak amplification is over two times higher and ASE output levels are lower by about two orders of magnitude, making it a promising short pulse amplifier.
