Samenvatting

Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers (SOAs) are widely used as non-linear elements for optical data processing. For optimal use, high values of the phase change should accompany low changes in gain. The gain itself should be as high as possible. The relation between these two effects is described by the linewidth enhancement factor (a-factor). Here a method is proposed to unambiguously determine it on-chip. The method uses an integrated SOA in a Mach-Zehnder Interferometer with unequal power distribution. The MZI output depends on the gain saturation and the phase shift, due to self-phase modulation. Analyzing this signal gives information about the a-factor.
