Abstract

We investigate the effects of intraband crosstalk on the intensity noise suppression of spectrum-sliced incoherent light sources using semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs). Both Q-factor and electrical spectrum measurements clearly show that intraband crosstalk deteriorates the SOA-based noise suppression by breaking the correlation between optical frequency components of light.
