Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) The numerical analysis of the dependence of the polarization sensitivity on the strain is significant for an accurate design of polarization-insensitive semiconductor optical amplifiers(SOAs) based on tensile-strained bulk active layers. In this report, the reduction of strain in the active layer of the buried heterostructure and its influence on polarization sensitivity are analyzed numerically. The gain calculation model, including the strain distribution in the active layer, is suggested. From a comparison with the experimental results, it is shown that including the effect of the buried structure in the calculation correctly explains the dependence of the polarization sensitivity on the active layer structure.
