Claim:
1. Modular kit of a spectrally flexible device for bidirectional transmissions of optical signals sensitive to timing in the Internet and other networks containing a semiconductor optical amplifier and at least one isolator, the modular kit of the spectrally flexible device comprising a source of an optical holding signal, wherein the source of the optical holding signal is electrically bi-directionally interconnected with a control electronics module, and wherein the source of the optical holding signal is optically interconnected to a first optical input/output of the semiconductor optical amplifier by a first output of the source of the optical holding signal via a first isolator of the at least one isolator and a first wave-sensitive coupler or wherein the source of the optical holding signal is optically interconnected to a second optical input/output of the semiconductor optical amplifier by a second output of the source of the optical holding signal via a second isolator of the at least one isolator and a second wave-sensitive coupler, wherein the semiconductor optical amplifier is electrically bi-directionally interconnected with the control electronics module, wherein an input of the control electronics module is connected to an output of a power supply module.
