摘要：

Fast, very low threshold optical pulse switching, in a nonlinear loop mirror incorporating an erbium doped fibre amplifier (EDFA) operating at 1·536μm with a gain of 46 dB is reported. For a 336 m Sagnac loop the input switching power is 200 μW, which is 5 x 103 lower than the best previously reported. © 1990, The Institution of Electrical Engineers. All rights reserved.
