Abstract

A polarization-independent SOA having an InP substrate used as a semiconductor substrate, and an active layer taking an MQW structure formed of a barrier layer made of GaInAs with tensile strain applied thereto and a well layer made of GaInNAs with no strain applied thereto alternately laminated in a plurality of layers, here, four layers of the well layer and five layers of the barrier layer are alternately laminated, is proposed.
