Abstract

The influence of the ASE noise on the cascadability of SOA‐MZI structures is investigated. The experimental results show that saturation effects in the SOAs are the main cause of signal degradation, so counter‐propagation pump schemes as well as lower bias currents and optical powers are desirable when cascading several SOA‐MZI optical switches. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
