Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 7Demonstration of Pulse Controlled All-Optical Switch/Modulator(The Optical Society, 2014) Akın, Osman; Dinleyici, Mehmet SalihAn all-optical pulse controlled switch/modulator based on evanescent coupling between a polymer slab waveguide and a single mode fiber is demonstrated. Very fast all-optical modulation/switching is achieved via Kerr effect of the nonlinear polymer placed in the evanescent region of the optical fiber. Local refractive index perturbation (δn = -1.45612 × 10 -5) on the thin film leads to 0.374 nW power modulation at the fiber output, which results in a switching efficiency of ≈1.5%.
