    Abstract

    In this paper we describe a new nonlinear Mach-Zehnder interferometer with bimodal branches and asymmetric Y-junctions. Using various modelling techniques we show that this device can be used for an array of all-optical switching functions including wavelength, pulse-length and polarisation insensitive switching and conversion.
