Abstract :
Summary form only given. We report the first demonstration of an all-fiber electrooptic switch based on a poled electrooptic fiber segment incorporated into a Mach-Zehnder interferometer. System results for simultaneous switching between pulsed and CW laser sources are also demonstrated.
