The dependence of an all-optical inverter on both sample temperature and modulation frequency was investigated in an erbium-doped phosphate glass using a 809.5 nm laser diode. The reversed-phase waveforms were observed in the transmitted waveform in a temperature range of -220 to 875°C. The glass tr...
