An Optical Hard-Limiter for All-Optical Signal Processing

An optical hard limiter can be used for several applications in all optical signal processing, such as optical data converters, regenerators, attenuators, and comparators. In this paper an optical hard limiter is proposed based on using Highly NonLinear Fibre (HNLF) that can be used as a key component for all optical signal processing and data regeneration. Simulation results demonstrate that the optical hard limiter transfer function slope relates to the fibre nonlinearity, optical amplifier gain and the optical filter bandwidth.
