All-optical regenerator used in optical communications
The Mamyshev 2R regenerator is an all-optical regenerator used in optical communications.
In 1998, Pavel V. Mamyshev of Bell Labs proposed and patented the use of the self-phase modulation (SPM) for
single channel optical pulse reshaping and re-amplification.[1][2] More recent applications target the field of ultrashort high peak-power pulse generation.
