Notes:
An improved scheme for polarization insensitive four-wave mixing in semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) is proposed, utilizing just one polarization insensitive SOA and one input pump wave, and without compromising the achievable conjugate power compared with that obtained from a conventional dual-pump co-propagating configuration. For frequency detuning larger than ∼300 GHz for a device length of say 500 μm, polarization sensitivity less than ∼0.8 dB can be obtained. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.
