In most cases, the semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOA) are used with anti-reflection coating for its facets to avoid laser oscillation. Providing effects by residual reflection at the facets are theoretically analyzed. When the reflection by the back facet exists, the SOA shows larger amount of t...
