Wavelength-dependent nonlinear optical loop mirror for simultaneous amplitude noise reduction at two wavelengths

We propose and study analytically and numerically a polarisation-imbalanced Nonlinear Optical Loop Mirror (NOLM) scheme exhibiting a wavelength-dependent nonlinear characteristic. The device includes a symmetric coupler, an isotropic (or, in practice, twisted non-polarisation-maintaining) fibre loop...
