Dual output SOA based amplifier for PON extenders

A novel two-output PON amplifier is demonstrated to provide over 8-dB output power budget improvement over a conventional SOA, with negligible ASE noise. With an additional preamplifier it can accommodate up to 30 dB burst-to-burst power variation.
