Abstract

An all-optical switching device is demonstrated with a nonlinear waveguide structure filled with liquid crystal. The signal field coupled out the glass cladding has interesting intensity-depended property due to the coupling of two different nonlinear dynamics in the nonlinear optical layer. The device has an additional feature that the switching sign is controllable from positive to negative.
