摘要：

We have developed an efficient framework for analyzing the reflection and transmission properties of semiconductor photonic crystal optical amplifiers. Specifically, we have investigated the use o f slow light to enhance the gain of short integrated amplifiers. We find that the expected enhancement in transmission is limited by distributed feedback induced by the material gain itself. Such back-scattering is further enhanced by the refractive index variation associated with the linewidth enhancement factor. The inclusion of this effect reveals that for a given material gain, devices with smaller linewidth enhancement factor may offer better performance. (C) 2020 Optical Society of America
