Abstract :
An optical regeneration scheme based on non-degenerate phase-sensitive amplification in highly-nonlinear fibers is proposed. The regenerator exhibits significant amplitude and phase noise suppression properties and eliminates the need for precise phase and frequency locking with the input signal.
