摘要：
We consider a Mach-Zehnder interferometer with a nonlinear Bragg grating in one arm, and numerically simulate the time dependent behaviour of the all-optical switch. Compared with the same device without a grating the switching threshold is reduced by a factor of 4, while low pulse distortion is maintained for a pulse width of 8.8 ps. Bloch function theory leads to a simple model that allows one to estimate the enhancement factor for an arbritrary grating structure.
