Abstract:In this paper, we examine for the first time to our knowledge, the potential of all optical regeneration for multiple input wavelengths at bit-rates beyond 40 Gb/s. The system parameters have been investigated assuming two and four channel operation. Successful regeneration has been achieved for two input channels at 40 Gb/s and 160 Gb/s. Four channel operation at 40 Gb/s has been investigated as well, illustrating Q-factor improvement and amplitude fluctuation suppression at the marks.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
