Abstract
An all-optical device containing saturable gain, saturable loss and unsaturable loss regions which functions to transform weak, distorted optical pulses into uniform standard-shape pulses. The device performs thresholding, amplification and pulse shaping as required from an optical repeater, and may be implemented in semiconductor technology.
