Role of semiconductor optical amplifiers in advanced networking Because of their versatility, SOAs may soon appear in a wide variety of applications. TONY KELLY and IVAN ANDONOVIC, Kamelian Ltd. WDM optical networking has evolved rapidly from being simply a more efficient way of increasing throughput to a platform for implementing other photonic functions such as add/drop and switching directly in the optical domain. It is also becoming evident that the mass deployment of these advanced photonic techniques relies on developing routes to the integration of passive waveguiding technologi
