Abstract :
A passive, all-optical fiber device that limits the rate at which digital information can be transmitted over a single-node fiber is described. Experimental results that demonstrate the frequency response of the device and its effect on baseband intensity-modulated digital transmission are presented. A variety of issues related to the performance of these devices is discussed
