Conclusions

This work investigated into the use of SOAs in optical CDMA broadcast star topology network. Three possible placement positions were mentioned. It is concluded from results that preamplifier-2 is best configuration when SOAs are used. It is also observed that SOA provides advantage due to gain as well as nonlinear gain saturation charactestics in the placement position. While in other configurations, gain saturation degrades the performance.
