Preliminary Data Sheet

SemiNex delivers SOAs with the highest gain and available saturation power at infrared wavelengths. When necessary we will further optimize the design of our InP SOA to meet our customers' specific optical and electrical performance needs. Single waveguide or arrays are tested to meet customer and market performance demands. Typical results and packaging options are shown. Contact SemiNex for additional details or performance demands.
