Abstract

Fiber optic implementations of the nonlinear coupler [1] that involve orthogonal polarizations have been used for all-optical routing intense picosecond pulses [2-3]. A recent experiment [4] demonstrated that the nonreciprocal or asymmetric switching behavior of a linearly mismatched nonlinear coupler [5] may be exploited to implement all-optical logic operations. In ref.[4], a one coupling length long special birefringent fiber filter (or rocking rotator) [4] was used.
