Abstract
Complex-valued time-resolved transmission characteristics of a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) are measured using a spectrogram technique.  A relatively simple traveling-wave density matrix model is implemented that accurately captures the evolution of complex index due to stimulated emission and carrier heating.  The model  shows good agreement with experimental spectrogram data.
