Abstract :
We present a polarization-insensitive approach for waveform restoration in semiconductor-optical-amplifier (SOA) based optical gates using nonlinear polarization rotation in SOA and polarimetric filtering. The scheme is capable of suppressing the channel crosstalk owing to SOA´s cross-gain-modulation for multiple input wavelengths.
