| Abstract | We have investigated a Fabry-Perot (FP) filter and a nonlinear fiber loop mirror (NFLM) for their suitability as photonic switching devices. In the light of new information available on chalcogenide glasses with respect to their nonlinear optical coefficients and attenuation levels, we have found from our analysis that fibers made of these doped glasses hold a lot of promise. The advantage is seen to be more in the case of FP filters than in NFLM; which is rather due to the fact that some of these glass compositions have very high losses at lambda =1.55 mum. We have made a comparison between the use of Silica glass and Chalcogenide glass as the switching medium. We have also studied the effect of reducing the losses in Chalcogenide glass fibers. |
