Abstract
The ultimate potential of state-of-the-art highly nonlinear optical fiber technologies is reviewed from a perspective of practical implementation of all-optical nonlinear signal processing devices. This review is focused on bismuth oxide-based ultra-high nonlinear optical fiber. The definition issue of figure-of-merit for fiber nonlinearity efficiency comparison is also discussed.
