Title

Novel gain-transparent SOA-switch for high bitrate OTDM add/drop multiplexing

Abstract
We demonstrate an all-optical switch with the inherent advantage of leaving the non-switched pulses undisturbed the switching principle is based on index modulations at 1.55 mu m that originate from gain saturation in a 1.3 mu m semiconductor optical amplifier.
