    摘要: An apparatus for gating an optical signal comprising: an input stage arranged to receive and combine first and second optical control signals (ON, OFF) of first and second wavelengths, and an optical signal (SIGNAL IN) to be gated of a third wavelength. A gain medium is arranged to receive the signals SIGNAL IN, ON and OFF from the input stage. The gain medium (e.g. YAG) comprises a transition metal dopant (e.g. Cr4+) that has an excited state populatable by the first control signal and depopulatable by the second control signal to allow selective amplification of the optical signal to be gated by stimulated emission from the excited state responsive to the control signals. The amplification process has a very fast switch-on time that is several orders of magnitude faster than in prior art devices based on the rare earth dopant Er3+.

Each switching element includes an optical guiding structure which includes two pairs of waveguides; a driving arrangement for individually moving the switching elements between at least a first and a second position; and a first and a second input and a second output. When a generic switching element is moved in the first position, the first pair of waveguides connects a first input with a first output, and a second input with a second output; when a generic switching element is moved in the second position, the second pair of waveguides connects the first input with the second output, and the second input with the first output. In a first embodiment, the waveguides are provided on a disc shaped carrier and lie in the same plane, which disc is rotated. In a second embodiment, the two pairs of waveguides lie in different planes and the waveguide carrier plate is moved up and down for switching.
