Title

Dissipative Spatial Solitons In Active Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers

Abstract

The use of spatial solitons for guiding the light in active semiconductors optical amplifiers (SOAs) is discussed. Spatial solitons are self-trapped beams which propagate without spreading and exhibit different nonlinearities such as quadratic and Kerr. It is observed that loss, in an amplifying medium such as a SOA, must also be balanced by gain which results in an inherently different soliton as compared to the lossless ones. The stability of dissipative solitons in amplifying media requires that the amplification of noise in the tails of the soliton be suppressed.
