    Abstract

    We explore the effects of N-N pairs on the amplifying properties of GaInNAs based Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers. The bandstructure of GaInNAs is calculated with the 3 band anti-crossing model to account for the N-N pairs for the conduction band and k center dot p theory for the valence bands. For the calculation of the GaInNAs amplifier properties we adopt a multi-sectioning approach to the rate equation that accounts for amplified spontaneous emission. Based on these we discuss the merits of N-N pairs for GaInNAs semiconductor optical amplifiers.
