Abstract :
Channel extraction and clearing for an all-optical add/drop multiplexer is demonstrated in a novel configuration exploiting both four-wave-mixing and cross-phase-modulation in a single semiconductor optical amplifier. The scheme is insensitive to signal input polarization and wavelength.
