Abstract :
An ultrafast bit rate and format transparent all-optical packet equalizer is presented, based on fiber-optic parametric amplification. Its equalizing performance is investigated for 43 Gbaud OOK, DPSK and DQPSK signals. The improvement is verified in transmission experiments over 1000km dispersion-managed fiber.
