Abstract :
We use Bessel function analysis of an amplitude limiter based on four-wave mixing in a highly nonlinear fibre to derive formulae for the transfer function and the output noise statistics. These are confirmed by a detailed experimental characterization. Phase preserving operation is shown by minimizing the signal-pump ratio.
