All-optical travelling wave modulation inverter

A travelling wave system capable of condition sign inversion and/or amplification of optical information encoded by small-scale modulation in a strong electromagnetic field is proposed. The system is based on a Kerr-like interaction producing a nonlinear phase shift, and a xi super((2)) based phase...

Summary:A travelling wave system capable of condition sign inversion and/or amplification of optical information encoded by small-scale modulation in a strong electromagnetic field is proposed. The system is based on a Kerr-like interaction producing a nonlinear phase shift, and a xi super((2)) based phase sensitive parametric amplification. The device is well suited for ultrafast optical operation.
