Abstract
We report on a polarization insensitive, all-optical demultiplexer based on gaintransparent operation of a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) in an ultrafast-nonlinear interferometer (GT-UNI) using polarization diversity. Error-free demultiplexing from 160 Gb/s to 10 Gb/s is demonstrated.
