Contribution to the Study of 2R Regenerators in Optical Transmission Link into Account the PMD

Abstract

With the development of optical communication systems in high bandwidth fiber, various degradations affect the propagation of light signals such as polarization mode dispersion which represents a temporal pulse broadening, it becomes troublesome from long and long distances for this, it is necessary to regenerate the signal optically, that is to say, the amplified (1R regeneration) , the reshaping (2R regeneration) and sometimes resynchronize to overcome the phenomenon of jitter time (3R regeneration). In this paper we study the contribution of 2R optical regenerator self-modulation to combat the phenomenon of polarization mode dispersion. The experiment is simulated with optisystem.
