## Abstract Symmetric Mach‐Zehnder (SMZ) type all‐optical switches, namely, the SMZ, polarization‐discriminating SMZ (PD‐SMZ), and delayed interference signal wavelength converter (DISC), are described in detail. All of these all‐optical switches are characterized by push–pull operation and allow u
## Abstract The extinction ratio, switching contrast, and amplitude modulation (AM) characteristics of a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) based Mach–Zehnder interferometer (MZI) as an all‐optical add–drop multiplexer (AO–ADM) are analyzed. It shows that the switching performance can be improve
