All-optical passive 2R regeneration of dispersion-managed RZ data at 40 and 80 Gbit/s using in-line NOLMs

Research output: Chapter in Book/Published conference outputConference publication

Abstract

We demonstrate that the use of in-line nonlinear optical loop mirrors (NOLMs) in dispersion-managed (DM) transmission systems dominated by amplitude noise can achieve passive 2R regeneration of a 40 and 80 Gbit/s RZ data stream. This is an indication that the use of this approach could obviate the need for full-regeneration in high data rate, strong DM systems, when intra-channel four-wave mixing poses serious problems.
