All-Optical 2R Regenerator Non-Linear Optic Based on the Mamyshev Model

Abstract

This paper aims to present a fiber optic telecommunications network design capable of suppressing noise and improving the quality of the transmitted signal through the self-phase modulation effect in a highly nonlinear fiber (HNLF), thus allowing the regeneration 2R (Reamplification and Reshaping) in a totally optical way. For a distance of up to 300 km of SMF, the values of factor Q = 6, BER = 10 -9 and OSNR = 13.5 dB were found. The project was developed and simulated in Optisystem software. The results confirm that the proposed 2R regenerator was efficient.
