Abstract
An optical power booster based on a gain‐saturated semiconductor optical amplifier with an injected holding light is experimentally demonstrated for an optical access network using spectrum‐sliced incoherent light (SSIL). The results show that the proposed booster can provide not only a signal gain of 10.8 dB but also a Q‐factor of 8.9 for a 2.5 Gb/s SSIL signal, transmitted over 10 km of single‐mode fiber. The corresponding bit‐error rate is lowered to 6 × 10^−11^. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
