Abstract

An optical signal processing system is provided that includes a first light modulator for receiving, placing information on a first optical signal, and for producing a second optical signal. The second optical signal includes a desired signal portion and an undesired signal portion. The optical signal processing system includes a second light modulator that tunes a first optical pump signal to a Brillouin frequency that is less than, but corresponding to, a frequency of the undesired signal portion. The optical signal processing system includes a light conductor configured to receive as a first input the second optical signal and as a second input the first optical pump signal tuned to the Brillouin frequency. The optical signal processing system causes the first optical pump signal tuned to the Brillouin frequency to induce a Stimulated Brillouin Scattering effect at the light conductor to attenuate the undesired signal portion.
