摘要：

We have demonstrated the use of solitary wave collisions in optical pulse switching. Our apparatus consisted of a fiber ring with 11 sections of polarization-maintaining fiber, with successive sections fusion spliced with the axes rotated 90 deg. The configuration yielded enhanced transmission (autocorrelation contrast ratio 2.82:1), in agreement with expectation for this number of sections and the unoptimized fiber coupler that was used. Design criteria for complete switching are presented.
