Abstract :
We theoretically investigate the potential of a Kerr-nonlinear resonator for all-optical regeneration. In combination with an optical amplifier, this ultra-compact structure allows for an extremely flexible approach in terms of bandwidth and regenerative strength, which can readily be integrated into future nonlinear platforms
