Abstract :
We show in this contribution that there is a surprising beneficial application of the noise amplification capability. Launching a pulse train with a weak sinusoidal amplitude modulation into the microstructure fiber, we observe up to 30-fold optical signal amplification of this modulation after the fiber.
