Saturable optical absorber, and an application thereof to regenerating a wavelength division multiplexed signal

   
   

A saturable optical absorber component is made of an inhomogeneous absorption material including a plurality of sets of quantum boxes formed in stacked layers. The sizes of the quantum boxes of each set define an absorption wavelength associated with the set.
