Abstract :
All-optical data processing is expected to play a major role in future optical communications. Nonlinear effects in optical fibres have many attractive features and a great, not yet fully explored potential in optical signal processing. Here, we overview our recent advances in developing novel techniques and approaches to all-optical processing based on optical fibre nonlinearities.
