Demonstration of input-to-output gain in a Talbot amplifier

We experimentally demonstrate input-to-output gain in a Talbot amplifier, operating without using any active gain process, by recycling energy already stored in the input repetitive signal. We show a gain factor exceeding the total system loss by 5dB.
