All-optical multilevel regeneration in nonlinear optical loop mirror [PDF]
An all-optical multilevel amplitude regenerator is optimized based on the transmission response of a nonlinear optical loop mirror (NOLM). Three regenerative regions defined by the power-transfer-function (PTF) slope of less than 1 are obtained, and noise suppression is shown for a PAM4 signal.

In-Fiber Subpicosecond Pulse Shaping for Nonlinear Optical Telecommunication Data Processing at 640 Gbit/s [PDF]
We review recent work on all-fiber (long-period fiber grating) devices for optical pulse shaping, particularly flat-top pulse generation, down to the subpicosecond range and their application for nonlinear switching (demultiplexing) of optical time ...

All-optical multilevel amplitude regeneration in a single nonlinear optical loop mirror [PDF]
We experimentally demonstrate all-optical amplitude regeneration of 4-level pulse amplitude modulated signals (PAM4) based on a single nonlinear optical loop mirror (NOLM). Four power-plateau regions are achieved using return-to-zero (RZ) pulses of narrow pulse-width, enabling large nonlinear phase shifts within the highly nonlinear fiber (HNLF).

A Multi-Wavelength Thulium-Doped Fiber Laser Using a Photonic Crystal Fiber-Based Sagnac Loop
A multi-wavelength thulium-doped fiber laser incorporating a photonic crystal fiber (PCF) Sagnac loop was presented and experimentally demonstrated. In the laser cavity, the Sagnac loop mirror used a 0.5 m PCF as a comb filter.
