Paper Abstract
We present a new method for measuring the semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) linewidth enhancement factor,
employing a configuration wherein the SOA is placed within a loss modulated fiber ring cavity operated in the FM laser
regime. This allows an easy phase-index measurement in lasing operation at small modulation frequencies. A
comparison with the conventional FM/AM technique enables independent measurement of the two underlying phase
modulation mechanisms: thermal effects from the current modulation and gain-to-refractive index coupling.
