Abstract

It was demonstrated that an optical switch which was operated at 10 Gbit/s was realized using SOA’s in a Mach-Zehnder(SOA-MZI) configuration, which based on cross-phase modulation (XPM) in semiconductor optical amplifier(SOA) and interference struct. An analysis was presented to describe the phase changing in SOA, which caused by optical power injected into SOA. The interference struct supplied a method to transform phase shift into amplitude. At this process, the switch window would been created. Through the simulation the switch was approved.
