ABSTRACT:
For use in a soliton optical pulse transmission system, an apparatus for, and method of, increasing a signal-to-noise ratio of the system. The apparatus includes: (1) a component for receiving a soliton and an accompanying background noise from the system and increasing a power density of the soliton and the accompanying background noise and (2) a saturable absorber, having a predetermined recombination rate, for receiving and absorbing a portion of the soliton and the accompanying background noise, the predetermined recombination rate causing the saturable absorber to absorb a lesser portion of the soliton than of the accompanying background noise, the component having increased the power density of the soliton and the accompanying background noise to increase a sensitivity of the saturable absorber, the apparatus thereby increasing the signal-to-noise ratio of the system.
