Abstract
We analyze the transmissivity of a nonlinear filter that is based on intensity-dependent
polarization rotation in a birefringent fiber. It is shown that the transmissivity
of the element depends not only on the intensity of the incident light but
also on the time behavior of its amplitude. Such an element can be used as
a derivator, an element that transmits only variations in the input pulse.
The filter can also be used for obtaining lasers that generate a train of
intense noiselike pulses with a broadband spectrum and a short coherence length.
