Title

All-Optical Switching Based On Spatial Solitons In Algaas

Abstract

A all-optical switching devices based on ultrafast bound- electronic nonlinearity have the potential to perform signal processing and routing at a speed in excess of 1 Thz. So far, AlGaAs operating at wavelength below half the band gap has been found to be one of the best materials for demonstrating and testing such devices and device concepts. A bright spatial soliton is a non-diffracting self-guided beam which exists due to an interplay between the self- focusing nonlinearity and the linear diffraction. In this talk, we will experimentally demonstrate all-optical switching based on spatial soliton dragging.
