Abstract :
We experimentally investigate an impact of polarization-dependence of XPM on a multiple-channel output all-optical OTDM demultiplexer comprised of a non polarization-maintaining fiber. Experiments show that the change in receiver sensitivity due to the polarization-dependence is only 1.5 dB, implicating polarization-independent operation
