Design and analysis of MEMS tunable vertical-cavity semiconductor optical amplifiers

We present revised widely-tunable vertical-cavity SOAs exhibiting a reduced tuning voltage and an increased wavelength tuning range. Additionally, detailed theoretical models have been developed and are shown to be in good agreement with experimental observations.
