Feasibility study of adaptive gain control of quantum-dot SOA for unicast/multicast wavelength selective routing systems in T-band

Optical multicast routing is used for many applications such as video streaming and energy-efficient networking. We propose adaptive gain control of a quantum-dot-based semiconductor optical amplifier (QD-SOA) for optical unicast and multicast wavelength selective routing systems in T-band to compensate optical power loss according to the number of destination nodes.
