All-Optical Packet Switching and Label Rewriting for Data Packets Beyond 160 Gb/s
In this paper, two different paradigms to realize a scalable all-optical packet switch with label swapping will be reviewed. The two paradigms are based on wavelength routing switch and space routing switch.

All-optical switching in epsilon-near-zero asymmetric directional coupler
We propose an all-optical switch based on an asymmetric directional coupler structure with epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) layer. The nonlinear optical properties the of ENZ layer are analyzed by hot-electron dynamics process, and the all-optical operating ...

Ultrafast and High Extinction Ratio 1×4 Electro-Optical Switch Based on Cascaded Dual-Output MZI
We propose and fabricate an ultrafast and high extinction ratio 1 × 4 optical switch based on a cascade, dual-output Mach–Zehnder interferometer (MZI) on the lithium niobate platform. The optical switch consists of cascaded, identical, dual-

Simulation of an all-optical 1 x 2 SMZ switch with a high contrast ratio [PDF]
— An all-optical 1×2 high contrast ratio (CR) switch based on the symmetric Mach-Zehnder (SMZ) interferometers is presented. Simulation results show a remarkable improvement of the inter-output CR (~25 dB) between the two outputs compared with an ...

The concept of a miniature all-optical space switch based on the photonic hook effect
We propose and discuss main properties of a new concept of an all-optical dielectric two-channel wavelength-selective switch based on the photonic hook effect. A prototype of such a de-vice based on dielectric microstructures with broken symmetry of both

Evaluation of the optical switching characteristics of erbium-doped fibres for the development of a fibre Bragg grating sensor interrogator [PDF]
A polling topology that employs optical switching based on the properties of erbium-doped fibres (EDFs) is used to interrogate an array of FBGs. The properties of the EDF are investigated in its pumped and un-pumped states and the EDFs’ switching ...
