Abstract

An all-optical polarization controller based on a mutual-injection-locked laser diode (MILD) was proposed. The principle for MILD polarization controller was the combined effects of polarization discrimination and intensity stabilization by an injection-locked Fabry-Perot laser diode. MILD controlled the state-of-polarization of the incoming signal by acting as an intensity compensating polarizer. The 0.8 dB improvement in power penalty demonstrated noise suppression by MILD.
