Abstract
Recent work on the development of integrated optical devices for nonlinear switching and processing has focused on the performance of Mach Zehnder1 and directional coupler2 switches. However previous research into optical fibres has identified the potential of the birefringent polarisation gate3 which is known to have better stability against external fluctuation than interferometric gates based on independent optical paths.
