Abstract

Magneto-optical switching using Faraday rotation is investigated for optical fiber networks. Nonlinearity of the Faraday rotation was measured, and the optical switch was designed accordingly. The device was implemented experimentally with promising results. Index Terms--All-fiber switch, Faraday effect, magneto-optic switching.
