Abstract
The authors propose and demonstrate a technique for phase conjugation of lightwave signals with an efficiency that is independent of the sig nal polarisation. Using either optical fibre or a semiconductor optica l amplifier as the nonlinear element, a signal-polarisation dependence of about +/- 1 dB in the conjugation efficiency was obtained.
