ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor optical amplifier with a high speed photodetector acting as an optical tap is disclosed. The device functions simultaneously as an in-line optical amplifier and as a high-speed photodetector tap. An in-line an optical amplifier is combined with a waveguiding, high speed (low capacitance) reverse-biased photodetector that absorbs only a percentage of the amplified signal, allowing the remainder to pass through without distortion.
