Samenvatting
Low facet reflectivity in SOAs is essential for suppressing gain ripple. Low residual reflectivity
can be realized by tilting the output waveguide with respect to the facet and by applying wide waveguides. Since wide waveguides result in higher-order mode reflections with significant reflection coefficients, these higher-order modes must be filtered out. We present numerical and experimental results on ridge waveguide SOAs which have been monolithically integrated with passive ridge waveguides with mode filters. As a result, we obtained a residual reflectivity lower than -30 dB without anti-reflection coating.
