Abstract
Switching in less than 1 ns of an optical signal at 632 nm is demonstrated in a 1 m optical fiber Sagnac interferometer. Full signal modulation was obtained with a pump power of 24 W at a wavelength of 532 nm.

Experimental demonstration of optical soliton switching in an all-fiber nonlinear Sagnac interferometer
We demonstrate, for the first time to our knowledge, the switching of optical solitons. We observe switching of 93% of the total reflected energy in a partially transmitting int...
All-optical loop mirror switch employing an asymmetric amplifier/attenuator combination
