## Abstract By optimizing the carrier distribution along the longitudinal axis of a twoβsection semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA), we have improved the modulation/switching performances (modulation index and efficiency, switching contrast) with respect to those of a singleβsection component. Th
We present a novel system design that can generate the optimized wavelength-tunable optical pulse streams from an uncooled gain-switched Fabry-Perot semiconductor laser using an optical amplifier as external light source. The timing jitter of gain-switched laser has been reduced from about 3 ps to 6
