Our approach of all-optical 2R regeneration is based on those of Mamyshev. The numerical study reveals the self-similar spectral broadening very effective for 2R all-optical regeneration; the proposed design presents high stability compared to a conventional regenerator using SPM broadening with reduction of the intensity fluctuations and improvement of the extinction ratio. }, journal = {International Journal of Physical and Mathematical Sciences}, volume = {12}, number = {12}, year = {2018}, pages = {261 - 267}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10009908}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/144}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 144, 2018}, }
