Research abstract
This SBIR program brings together a world leader in semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs), a paradigm changing ultra-low-cost packaging technology, and the expertise to integrate these technologies to develop a product that will meet the demanding technical and cost targets for the NavSea application driving this SBIR topic. In this program, a low noise laser source will be combined with a customized SOA device, including an optical isolator between these elements, through the use of novel hybrid-integration techniques. The resulting device will provide excellent noise performance during SOA switching transients, as required for demanding sensing applications. The device will offer ultra-low-cost and high-volume manufacturing to support DOD requirements.
