Simultaneous all-optical 3R regeneration scheme with improved scalability using TOAD

Opt Express. 2006 Oct 30;14(22):10339-44. doi: 10.1364/oe.14.010339.

Abstract

A novel re-timing, re-amplifying, and re-shaping (3R) regeneration system is proposed to process multiple WDM (wavelengthdivision-multiplexing) channels simultaneously. Its re-timing capability is investigated by both simulation and experiment with polarizationscrambling method at 10 Gb/s bit rate. Jitter tolerance up to 0.8 UIpp is demonstrated with BER improvement and floor breaking ability.
