Abstract
The present invention discloses a semiconductor optical amplifier module with a monitoring device. The amplifier module includes a housing having a window on both sides of the opposite walls for forming a path of a first optical fiber and a second optical fiber, respectively; a semiconductor optical amplifier mounted in the housing for amplifying input optical signals and outputting the amplified optical signals; a first supporter for supporting the first optical fiber; a second supporter for supporting the second optical fiber; and a first optical detector for detecting non-coupled light, which is generated at the end of the first optical fiber.
