1.3μm InGaAsP/InP semiconductor optical amplifier compatible with an active/passive integration technology

We present our latest results on 1300 nm band optical amplifiers and Fabry-Perot lasers in the development of a 1300nm active\passive photonic integration platform on InP. Modal gain, material transparency, temperature dependence are reported and analyzed for amplifiers that are optimized for low butt-joint reflections.
