A multiwavelength source incorporating a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) and a erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) in a ring-cavity configuration was demonstrated. The multiwavelength source was able to generate more than 13 channels at -27 dBm and above at a SOA bias current of 300 mA and 980...
