Characterizing the Statistics of a Bunch of Optical Pulses Using a Nonlinear Optical Loop Mirror

We propose in this work a technique for determining the amplitude distribution of a wave packet containing a large number of short optical pulses with different amplitudes. The technique takes advantage of the fast response of the optical Kerr effect in a fiber nonlinear optical loop mirror (NOLM)....
