Abstract
Semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOA) is an essential part in the modern long range optical communication system. SOA provides high gain over large bandwidth and consumes low power [1]. The study of optical pulse propagation inside SOA provides interesting insights [2,3]. Airy pulse, a self-accelerating pulse is known for its self-acceleration and quasi-dispersive nature [4]. In this work, we study the Airy pulse propagation in the linear regime of a SOA. We observe that peak value of the Airy pulse and trajectory of the Airy pulse depend upon the gain dispersion parameter of SOA.
