Abstract :
By measuring cross-gain modulation in a turbo-switch, we demonstrate that appropriate control of the optical power in this high-speed all-optical switch results in greatly reduced dependence on the input data pattern. We further show that the non-linear patterning may even be reversed for high internal powers.
