Nonlinear Pulse Shaping in Fibres for Pulse Generation and Optical Processing

Figure 5

(a) Schematic of an optical regenerator based on SPM and filtering (after [100]). (b) Experimental setup for 40 Gbit/s similariton-based regeneration. (c) Top, autocorrelation traces of the pulse train at the Raman amplifier input (circles) and output for different values of the filter offset (dashed, dotted, and solid curves). Bottom, output versus input proportion of the spurious noise pulse energy with respect to the ones energy for a fixed filter offset. Results adapted from [84].
