Wide dynamic range of ring resonator channel-dropping filters with integrated SOAs

Vawter, Gregory A.; Tauke-Pedretti, Anna; Skogen, Erik J.

We present the first complete simulation of the dynamic range and noise of InGaAsP multi-ring channel-drop filters with internal SOAs. The results show gain saturation, and spontaneous emission noise limit the dynamic range. © 2011 Optical Society of America.
