Abstract :
Summary from only given. We proposed and demonstrated an all-optical polarization controller based on a mutual injection-locked laser diode (MILD). The MILD controls the state of polarisation (SOP) of the incoming signal not by rotating its SOP but by acting as an intensity compensating polarizer.
