Abstract
A new scheme for all-optical signal reshaping is proposed and demonstrated. The strongly depleted mixing between a CW pump and a noisy nonreturn-to-ze ro (NRZ) signal in a common fiber can provide wavelength-converted signals exhibiting excellent intensity-noise cancellation, Numerical simulations co nfirm almost complete suppression of intensity fluctuations, simultaneously occurring at several different wavelengths.
