            Abstract : 
High-speed all-optical signal processing by using nonlinearity in silica-based highly-nonlinear fibers is reviewed. Besides, our development of an optical parametrically amplified fiber switch that suppresses amplitude noise of 160-Gb/s OOK and DPSK data signals is introduced.
