In this study, we demonstrate optical preamplification at 1550 nm using a vertical-cavity semiconductor amplifier (VCSOA). At 10 Gb/s, receiver sensitivity of -28.5 dBm was achieved for 13 dB fiber-to-fiber gain. This corresponds to an improvement in the 9.7 dB. We also evaluated performance 20 and 40 Gb/s. A 4.7-dB power penalty measured Gb/s with 6-dB Theoretical simulations show that pattern dependence can be mitigated VCSOA lower mirror reflectivity.

The requirements for 14XX nm pumps with wavelength range from 1400 to 1520 are not only higher output power but also lower degree of polarization (DOP) preventing the problem due polarization-dependent-gain in Raman amplifier. It is expected that co-propagating pumping could improve system performances comparison using counter pumping. To apply this scheme, pump lasers should have enough low relative intensity noise (RIN) characteristics. In paper, we will describe two novel concepts 14XXnm...
