半导体光放大器(Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers,SOA)是采用半导体增益介质的一种光放大器。半导体光放大器具有结构简单、体积小,制作工艺成熟、成本低、寿命长、功耗小等特点。SOA通常用于通信系统中的全光中继放大器、接收机前置放大器等。
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a low coherence interferometry technique that generates backscattering profiles of tissue. OCT has been very successful in ophthalmology in diagnosing eye diseases and it is widely applied in other areas such as dentistry, endoscopy and dermatology. Light sources are a crucial component in the design of OCT systems as they decide the resolution along the optical axis as well the depth penetration of infrared light in tissue. Swept-source lasers (SSL) are the light source of choice for Fourier domain optical coherence tomography (FDOCT). The gain medium in SSL is most often a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA). Their main advantage is fast carrier dynamics which ensures fast buildup of lasing within the cavity. Furthermore, a wider tuning range can be achieved by employing several SOAs in parallel.
