Ultrafast Dual Path Optical Kerr Demultiplexer Utilizing a Polarization Rotating Mirror,
Abstract
All-optical signal processing attracts much attention to overcome the speed limitations imposed by the electrical circuits. An all-optical switching scheme using intensity-dependent refractive index in Kerr media, especially optical fibers, is one of the promising candidates for processing incoming densely time-multiplexed signals, namely optical demultiplexing, optical routing, and logic operations. To date, many excellent works on polarization switching, Mach-Zehnder or Sagnac interferometer switching have been presented for realizing the above functions.
