Abstract

We propose a method for all-optical signal inversion by means of stimulated Raman scattering (SRS). The idea is based on the transference of energy from the logic state #x201C;1#x201D; to the second stokes and making the logic state #x201C;0#x201D; into logic state #x201C;1#x201D; by receiving energy from the pump through SRS. According to the numerical simulation, a continuous wave pump source of LOW at 1453 nm and a few hundred meters of highly nonlinear fiber are required to invert an input signal at 1555 nm. The optical signal is inverted with high on-off contrast ratio.
