Abstract :
A configuration is proposed for polarisation insensitive wavelength conversion using an oscillating LD. By employing a loop with a polarisation beamsplitter, an optical signal is always injected into an LD in the TE mode irrespective of its polarisation state. An experiment using an MQW DFB-LD demonstrates the operation for a 4.5 Gbit/s signal
