Abstract
An optical regeneration scheme based on nondegenerate phase-sensitive amplification in highly nonlinear fibers is numerically investigated. The proposed regenerator exhibits significant amplitude and phase noise suppression properties and eliminates the need for precise phase and frequency locking with the input return-to-zero differential phase-shift keying signal.
