(posted 2023-03-01 14:48:12.61) Hello,
We are using SOA1013SXS for one of our applications, and from a few days back, we are seeing abnormal functioning of the SOA. We are not getting any optical output from SOA, and when probed at the electrical input to SOA, it seems the SOA is not pulling any current from the driver circuit.
We also tested SOA using a standard LD controller (ITC4001), but we are not able to power on the SOA (the controller is throwing an error - 'of voltage tripping').
Please help us in verifying the functionality of SOA, if there there is a way. thanks. Wookjin Jeong
(posted 2022-03-21 15:20:13.32) Dear Thorlabs.
I have a question about spec sheet.
Is the maximum optical input to BOA1004XPS is 3dBm? or can I use more high input?
(I use it to make pulse light around 100 ns pulse width, 1 kHz. And the input optical light is CW light.)
Thank you
Wookjin cdolbashian
(posted 2022-03-25 02:55:50.0) Thank you for reaching out to us Wookjin. This is a good question as the presentation of this data can be a bit confusing. These devices do not really have a hard cutoff for input power, but will have attenuated performance as the input power is increased. To determine the input power from the "gain vs. output power" graph in the "graphs" tab, simply subtract the X axis (output power) from the Y axis (Gain), and the resulting value in dBm will be the input power. Note that beyond a certain input power (after gain), there is a sharp falloff for the gain. Daniel Ceballos-Herrera
(posted 2021-04-10 20:52:39.81) Dear Mr/Mrs, I am interested to purchase your High-Speed Optical Shutter/Switch SOA1013SXS. is it possible to directly modulating the SOA1013SXS with square electrical pulses of 10ns (or 100 ns) with a frequency rate of 100Khz, with a switching speed of 1ns and extintion ratio of 60dB?. It is for a acoustic sensing system. What (temperature and current) driver do you recommend for this application. The CLD1015 driver is adequated for my case?
Thank you very much in advance for your help,
Best regards,
Daniel Ceballos

(posted 2021-04-14 10:12:39.0) Hello Daniel, yes, this can be achieved using the SOA1013SXS. Unfortunately, we don't offer a high speed driver to support such fast rates at the moment. We have reached out to you directly with more information. Peter Holl
(posted 2020-07-07 03:36:45.987) These sound fantastic, but for our application we need a 780 nm version as well. Is there any roadmap as to when versions for other wavelengths will be available? YLohia
(posted 2020-07-07 11:40:56.0) Hello, thank you for your interest in our products. We are currently working on a 780 nm BOA. I have reached out to you directly to gather more details about your application. Jeffrey Lee
(posted 2019-05-08 14:45:32.847) I just wanted to let you know that if these could be made to work at 780nm (and other common wavelengths for atomic physics), I and a lot of my colleagues would be very very interested in them. YLohia

(posted 2018-11-12 10:09:14.437) Dear Mr/Mrs,
is it possible to directly modulating the
SOA1013SXS with electrical pulses of 10 ns and repetition rate of 20 us?
If the input CW signal will have a power of few milliwatts, what will be the maximum peak power of the output pulses?
Thank you,
Marco Brunero. YLohia
(posted 2018-11-12 08:56:14.0) Hello Marco, thank you for contacting Thorlabs. It is possible to directly modulate this SOA with such pulses, provided that the proper drive electronics are utilized. The output power depends on the wavelength, peak current, and input power. I will reach out to you directly to discuss this further. hnguyen43
(posted 2018-05-07 08:13:50.987) Would this product work for the wavelength 1130 nm range? If not, can I get a customized one for that wavelength? YLohia

(posted 2017-10-04 10:52:29.123) We would like to use this product as a shutter in an automatic power loss protection for our fiber amplifier.
Can you tell me a bit more about the properties of the input signal?
Do i need the TEC element when i operate it as a shutter?
What is the expected delay of the shutter?
Thanks in advance! tfrisch
(posted 2017-12-06 01:15:36.0) Hello, thank you for contacting Thorlabs. The internal TEC should be used, yes. The switching speed is 1ns, but if you want to use this as a shutter failsafe, the control electronics would likely be the limiting factor of the speed. For example CLD1015 would achieve only 4us. We will reach out to you directly to discuss the details your application and the input signal. brad.m.gibson
(posted 2016-12-14 17:35:47.78) Would it be possible to get a unit centered near 1391 nm? tfrisch

(posted 2016-12-07 17:39:16.043) Like one of the previous posters I find this is a very interesting product. However, an operation at 532nm would be crucial to my application. tfrisch

(posted 2015-10-16 15:03:39.55) I will purchase your High-Speed Optical Shutter/Switch BOA1004PXS or SOA1013SXS
Do you provide optical switch driver with above switch so I can set up the time and speed/frequence of off-on switch freely ？ besembeson
(posted 2015-10-27 05:25:49.0) Response from Bweh at Thorlabs USA: For low speed modulation (up to couple of hundred kHz), you can use our CLD1015. We don't have suitable driver at this time for high-speed switching. I will follow-up with some possible external suggestions. dangerous46
(posted 2015-02-18 18:25:26.64) Is this product capable of acting as a high extinction ratio modulator? The application I am interested in will cycle on/off up to a rate of 100 MHz. jlow
(posted 2015-02-25 03:15:03.0) Response from Jeremy at Thorlabs: You can use this to switch on/off an optical signal quickly. I will contact you directly to discuss more about your application. user
(posted 2014-03-29 09:41:21.71) This looks like a very nice product. Like the other commenters in the feedback section, I would also be interested in seeing a similar device with such fast switching times, but at a different wavelength, 532nm. jlow
(posted 2014-03-31 04:31:58.0) Response from Jeremy at Thorlabs: Thank you for providing your feedback regarding this. I have added this additional request in our internal forum and we will look into this possibility. biver
(posted 2012-12-04 08:21:12.973) Hello,
I would like to know if the same device is available for UV wavelength!
I am working with a fast UV pulsed laser (wavelength: 343nm; repetition rate: 200kHz-2MHz; beam size: ~3mm) and want to be able to discriminate between pulses. The idea is to have a sequence of 3 pulses, the first acting as a trigger to open a shutter and let the 2 following pulses pass (the first pulse triggers also an imaging system to visualize the impact of the 2 pulses on a given substrate). Mechanical shutters seem to be too slow for this application, and I am considering using an optical shutter, a Pockels cell or an acousto-optic modulator.
Thank you in advance,
Emeric Biver tcohen
(posted 2012-07-03 10:56:00.0) Response from Tim at Thorlabs: The semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs/BOAs) that we currently provide are all single-mode devices. The optical amplifier semiconductor chip itself is a single-mode waveguide device. So, the input optical coupling efficiency to a multi-mode fiber would be very poor. We could make a multi-mode semiconductor optical amplifier chip and couple it to large-core, multi-mode fiber. This would work, however, multi-mode optical amplifiers have a higher noise figure than single-mode amplifiers (the noise figure is directly proportional to the number of modes). The noise figure may or may not be important depending on the application. roger.pilkington
(posted 2012-07-01 04:32:23.0) Can this be done for larger fibers as well. Such as a 200um core? bdada
(posted 2011-03-04 18:46:00.0) Response from Buki:
The semiconductor optical amplifier operates as a classic intensity amplifier, with a minimum theoretical noise figure of 3 dB. The statistics of the coherent stimulation process as well as the presence of spontaneous emission at the signal wavelength would make it impossible to be used with a single-photon input. A phase sensitive, parametric amplifier, which does not have spontaneous emission at the signal wavelength and can have 0 dB noise figure would be more appropriate for single photon.
In terms of wavelength range, our existing product lines covers from 1 um to 2 um. We are working on expanding to wavelengths shorter than 1 um. We will contact you directly to learn more about your wavelength needs. till.weinhold
(posted 2011-03-03 23:05:09.0) Two questions regarding the SOA1013SXS unit. Can it be operated with gated single photon inputs or does it require a minimum input power.
What is the loss through the system?
And any view to expanding the wavelength range?
Cheers

(posted 2010-05-13 10:32:33.0) A response from Adam at Thorlabs to Pascal: At this time, we do not work with the material system that would allow us to make a custom semiconductor optical amplifier at 670nm. Therefore, we cannot produce custom versions at this time. I will make a suggestion to our engineers for this customer inspired new product idea. I will contact you directly to find out your exact application. pascal.deladurantaye
