Experimental measurement of nonlinear polarisation rotation in semiconductor optical amplifiers

Measurements are presented of the nonlinear polarisation rotation of light pulses passing through a semiconductor optical amplifier. It is shown that the induced phase differences between TM and TE modes can be substantial (-/spl pi//4 radians) for modest gain modulations (/spl sim/4 dB).
