Abstract

We study numerically the temporal evolutions of two orthogonally polarized pulses with width less than 100fsec in all-optical phase-shift switches. We analyze the complicated interplay between a soliton pulse and a higher-order soliton pulse, including the self-and the cross-Raman scattering and the walk-off effect. We also investigate the influence of these interactions on switching performance, including pulse-shape, phase-shift distribution, and contrast ratio. In particular we show that an optical fiber with a typical birefringence (Δn : 2.4$\times$10$^{-5}$ ) can be used with good switching performance in such all-optical switches.

전광위상천이스위치(All-optical phase-shift switch)에서 백 펨토초이하의 펄스폭을 가지는 두 극초단 직교펄스의 전파특성을 수치적으로 연구하였다. 이러한 전광스위치에서 자기라만산란 및 상호라만산란과 walk-off 효과를 고려하여, 솔리톤펄스와 고차솔리톤펄스간의 복잡한 비선형상호작용이 펄스의 형태변화, 펄스의 위상천이분포, 그리고 대조비등의 스위칭특성에 끼치는 영향들을 분석하였다. 특히 스위칭을 위해 필요한 walk-of f효과를 라만 walk-off효과에서 얻을 수 있기 때문에, 이러한 전광스위치에 전형적인 복굴절률(Δn = 2.4$\times$$10^{-5}$)을 가지는 광섬유를 사용해도 좋은 스위칭특성을 가짐을 보였다.
