title: Simultaneous residual chromatic dispersion monitoring and frequency conversion with gain using a parametric amplifier.
abstract: We demonstrate that chromatic dispersion induced pulse-width broadening can be effectively monitored by a simple average power measurement of the filtered output from a parametric amplifier when additional four-wave mixing interactions are introduced. This all-optical technique also provides all-optical frequency conversion of the signal being monitored and signal gain.
