18. In conventional SOAs, temperatures as high as 500 K are observed under cw observation which can only be explained by a combination of Auger recombination and hot phonon effects. J.-N. Fehr, M.-A.

19. This is confirmed by the temperature with carrier injection where we also observe a correlation between the changes of temperature and the changes in optical density.
