28-ps switching window with a selective area MOVPE all-optical MZI switch

Ti indiffused Lithium Niobate (Ti: LiNbO3) Mach-Zehnder interferometer all optical switches: A review

“…The symmetric machzehnder interferometer (MZI) has shown the better flexibility and shortest switching windows as compared to various configurations (Toliver et al, 2000). Improvement in all optical switching performance and high-speed capability of the MZI switches are investigated in (Schreieck et al, 2001), (Song et al, 2005) respectively. The integration of SOA's with in the MZI structures also the useful technology to design polarization insensitive switches (Gupta et al, 2005).…”

Machzehnder Interferometer and it’s Applications

“…The symmetric Mach Zehnder Interferometer (MZI) has shown the better flexibility and shortest switching windows as compared to various configurations [20]. Improvement in all optical switching performance and high-speed capability of the MZI switches are investigated in [21,22] respectively. Integrated Mach-Zehnder interferometers (MZIs) incorporating semiconductor optical amplifiers SOAs in the interferometer arms have recently been developed as very high-speed all-optical switching devices [23].Various SOA based switching configurations have been demonstrated, such as terahertz optical asymmetric demultiplexers (TOADs) [24],ultrafast nonlinear interferometers(UNIs) [25] and Mach Zehnder Interferometers [26][27][28], out of which MZI switches are most efficient.…”

Process optimization to design titanium-indiffused lithium niobate channel waveguides for Machzehnder interferometer switch

“…A conventional, symmetric MZI structure is suitable to realize flexible and high speed electro-optic (EO) switches with low driving power requirements for shortest switching window [1][2][3][4] . Due to large EO coefficients, Lithium Niobate is a suitable back plane for MZI structures based modulators/switches and possess stable performance parameters (optical loss, crosstalk, etc.…”
