    • Controlled phase variation of signal and idler waves by π/2 radians.
    • Measurement of pump power depletion and extinction ratio.
    • Static and dynamic characterization of the all-optical switch.

    Main Results:

    • Successful demonstration of an all-optical switch in a saturated phase-sensitive FOPA.
    • Significant pump power depletion observed due to phase variations.
    • Achieved a high pump power extinction ratio of 30.4 dB by shifting the signal/idler phase by π/2 radians.
    • Presented static and dynamic characterization results in the time domain.

    Conclusions:

    • Phase control in saturated FOPAs enables effective all-optical switching.
