Abstract
A new scheme for all-optical signal reshaping is proposed and demonstrated. The strongly depleted mixing between a CW pump and a noisy nonreturn-to-zero (NRZ) signal in a common fiber can provide wavelength-converted signals exhibiting excellent intensity-noise cancellation. Numerical simulations confirm almost complete suppression of intensity fluctuations, simultaneously occurring at several different wavelengths.Keywords
