Optical switching in twin-core erbium-doped fibers

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We report the theoretical and experimental investigation of switching in a nonlinear twin-core erbium-doped fiber coupler. It is shown that switching action takes place at a power of a fraction of 1 mW. Thus it provides a practical means of fabricating an all-optical fiber switch.
