Summary:
Polarization-independent active birefringent optical fiber loop filters using a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) as a phase shifter are studied experimentally. By driving the SOA with DC/sinusoidal current, the SOA is operating as a phase shifter thus the active control of the periodic transmission/reflection properties of the loop filter are realized.
