Abstract

Progress made towards realizing all-optical multiplexing and demultiplexing elements, formed in half band gap semiconductors, are reviewed. A range of multiplexing and demultiplexing configurations based on nonlinear directional couplers in AlGaAs is demonstrated. The use of an integrated format results in a compact device which leads to reduced delay times and insensitivity to environmental parameters such as temperature gradients.
