Abstract

We present an ultrafast nonlinear optical loop mirror (NOLM) switch based on multiple collisions between orthogonally polarized signal and control solitons in highly birefringent optical fiber. The 8-m circumference switch has an on/off ratio of 80: 1 and exhibits tolerance to timing jitter of 1.2 ps.
