Abstract
Semiconductor optical amplifiers have proved to be very significant for advanced telecommunications components. In traditional waveguide amplifier devices, the gain is both polarisation and wavelength dependent, and much effort has been devoted to compensating these. Such problems are removed when a circularly-symmetric vertical-cavity geometry is adopted, however the single-pass gain from such devices is normally small.
