Abstract
In this paper we show that a nonlinear optical amplifier can be constr ucted based an amplification of the second harmonic of the signal, whi le the fundamental harmonic is subject to losses. The second harmonic then transfers its energy back to the fundamental one, causing nonline ar amplification of the signal, while the noise is attenuated.
