摘要：

The first observation is reported of ultrafast all-optical switching in an integrated asymmetric Mach-Zehnder interferometer, using the nonresonant nonlinearity in Ga0.82Al0.18As below half the bandgap. A relative switching fraction of more than 80% has been achieved using 330 fs pulses at around 1.55-mu-m from a coupled-cavity mode-locked colour centre laser.
