Abstract
One major issue associated with all-optical signal processing utilizing four-wave mixing (FWM) in optical fibers1 and semiconductor waveguides2 is how to eliminate intense pump and signal waves from the generated FWM wave. We propose a novel configuration, called an optical parametric loop mirror (PALM), in which the FWM wave inherently separates from the intense pump and signal waves and even from their ASE noise, without optical filtering.
