## Abstract We propose an allβoptical switch based on crossβpolarization modulation in a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA), operating at 2.5 Gbits/s with an NRZ pseudorandom data sequence. The effect consists of an induced modification of the birefringence and waveguide eigenmodes of an SOA pro
