We report an investigation of a bidirectional optical bus made of two semiconductor laser amplifiers (SLAs) that are used as modems. In addition to their amplification function, SLAs can also act as fast light modulators and detectors. They can hence be used as standard access components in an optical bus. Error‐free transmission up to 1.555 Gb/s is achieved with −25‐dBm optical power. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
