The transmission capacity of a fiber communication link is determined by many factors, among which the characteristics of the optical amplifiers used to boost the signals. Semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) present their unique set of challenges. The noise figure and polarization dependent gain of the SOA is typically a bit higher than that of its fiber amplifier counterparts, and its fast gain dynamics potentially triggers non-linearities that may cause crosstalk between different WDM channels. We will discuss how these factors limit the capacity in WDM transmission with examples of both single span datacom amplification and high capacity cascaded transmission lines.
