Abstract :
Two-wavelength nonlinear loop mirrors are proposed as all-optically-controlled amplitude/phase modulators for in-line synchronous regeneration in transoceanic soliton systems. Simulations show improvement of transmission compared to systems regenerated with pure intensity modulators. This is explained by efficient reduction of soliton interactions
