Popis: The authors report on all-optical switching devices based on semiconductor laser amplifiers (SLA) in applications for optical time division multiplexing. These applications include demultiplexer, add/drop multiplexer and clock recovery. The nonlinear processes in the SLA used for switching are four-wave mixing and cross-phase modulation. Particular attention is paid to recently developed monolithically integrated interferometric switching devices.
