Experimental demonstration of optical soliton switching in an all-fiber nonlinear Sagnac interferometer

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We demonstrate, for the first time to our knowledge, the switching of optical solitons. We observe switching of 93% of the total reflected energy in a partially transmitting integrated fiber loop mirror that makes up the interferometer. This result demonstrates the potential of solitons as the natural bits in ultrafast optical processing.
