In this study, an all-optical switch is fabricated according to high sensitivity of surface plasmon resonance to refractive index changes. A four-layer structure (prism-metal-polymer-air) is established based on Kretschmann configuration that composition of PMMA-DR1 is used as active medium of switch. With illumination of 532 nm pump beam to this medium, a birefringence and therefore a refractive index change would appear in the medium. This changes for two different power of pump monitored and analysed by Kretschmann configuration.
