  • Abstract
    We propose and verify a new concept of an all-optical transistor based on cross-phase modulation between a signal pulse (SP) and a control pulse (CP). An effective interaction is achieved if the CP is temporally locked to the SP in an optical event horizon. This enables modification of carrier frequency, energy, and pulse duration of a SP by a considerably weaker CP.
