Phase-sensitive fiber-based parametric all-optical switch

• We experimentally demonstrate, for the first time, an all-opticalswitch in a phase-sensitive fiber optic parametric amplifier operated insaturation. We study the effect of phase variation of the signal and idlerwaves on the pump power depletion. By changing the phase of a 0.9 mWsignal/idler pair wave by π/2 rad, a pump power extinction ratio of 30.4 dBis achieved. Static and dynamic characterizations are also performed andtime domain results presented.
