    Abstract

    An all-optical integrated Mach-Zehnder interferometer switch is implemented using selective area disordering of a multiple quantum well structure. Ultrafast all-optical switching with an adjustable switching window ranging from 2 to 100ps is demonstrated. The switch contrast ratio in this preliminary device is measured to be 9dB.
