The spatial distribution of pump current in the active region of a quantum well-dot semiconductor optical amplifier was experimentally determined by identifying boundaries separating gain and absorption zones under varying injection currents and input wavelengths. The spatial non-homogeneity of the pump current distribution for a 5 μm-wide waveguide was found to be less than 14%. Keywords: quantum well-dots, semiconductor optical amplifiers, transparency current, non-homogeneity of gain,spatial distribution.
