Popis: In this paper, we propose a hybrid amplifier-based 8-port Cross-Polarization Modulation (XPoM) interconnection with low polarization sensitivity unlike conventional Semiconductor Optical Amplifier (SOA)-based switching. The three-stage configuration utilizes Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) as an intermediate stage to reduce the effects of inherent polarization modulation creating large Transverse Electric – Transverse Magnetic (TE–TM) relative phase shifts. The appreciable error rate of [Formula: see text] and Extinction Ratio (ER) of 14.166 dB have been obtained with 100 GHz of port-spacing at different input powers. The low Polarization-Dependent Loss (PDL) of 1.0045 dB, small variations of azimuth and ellipticity with device angle in S–E–S configuration in contrast to that of SOA, adds to the superiority of the proposed model.
