Method of frequency conversion of Manchester encoded data from a Kerr type of nonlinear medium

摘要

Kerr types nonlinear materials are widely used for optical self-focusing and defocusing, optical switching activities and data processing. Kerr types nonlinear materials can be used also in frequency conversion if some time-dependent optical pulses having some regular power shape functions are passed through the Kerr type nonlinear material. In digital optical communication optical pulses are used to send the message signals. Here in this paper the authors propose a new method of frequency conversion by the control of the power shape function of an optical signal.
