Abstract
All-optical switching schemes are essential for ultrafast optical information processing. The all-optical routing switch, including multiplexing and demultiplexing,1 is one of the most basic and important functions in time division multiplexing (TDM) optical fiber transmission systems. Here we propose a novel ultrafast all-optical routing switch utilizing an optical carrier frequency shift induced by a temporally synchronized intense pump pulse through cross-phase modulation (XPM)2-4 in optical fibers.
