Abstract
The effect of normal mode loss in nonlinear optical loop mirror (NOLM) switching is investigated. It is shown for both CW square and soliton pulse inputs that an unbalanced mode loss shifts the NOLM transmission coefficient with respect to reflection, and that the NOLM excess loss has sinusoidal dependence in the input pulse energy
