Spiro-oxazine photochromic fiber optical switch

Abstract
A photochromic all-optical switch in telecommunication-grade fiber is fabricated by filling a fiber Bragg grating Fabry-Pérot resonator with a spiro-oxazine solution. The narrow linewidth of the resonator allows for a high sensitivity of the resonance wavelengths to the index change. The switch is controlled by low intensity UV light exposure, and operation at infrared telecommunication wavelengths is demonstrated. The switching speed on the order of minutes has been achieved.
