摘要：

All-optical switch with the ultrafast optical switching rate is a key device in the next generation optical network. In this article, we propose a polarization switch with ps switching time, which is constructed from one-dimensional resonant photonic crystal (1D RPC). The model of switch operating at 1.5 mu m is established based on the optical stark effect (OSE). We calculate the performance indices of the switch and the influences of errors of periods and refractive index on the performance characteristics.
