  • Abstract
    We experimentally and numerically investigated spatial switching and steering of a soliton beam in periodically poled LiNbO3 (PPLN) film waveguides. We demonstrated the operation of an ultra-fast spatial switch based on the non collinear excitation at a repetition rate of 125 Gbit/s.
