It is well-known that nonlinear phase shifts in general are needed for all-optical switching devices and in this paper we will describe the application of such cascaded phase shifts to a fully integrated nonlinear directional coupler and Mach-Zehnder interferometer. The devices utilized type I phase matching in a 50mm long titanium indiffused symmetrical channel waveguide with propagation along the X-axis on a Y-cut LiNbO/sub 3/ crystal.
