This paper reports on the regenerative properties and efficiency of an all-optical 2R regenerator based on a tandem of saturable absorber (SA) chips. A new SA structure allowing mark level equalization, which is a complement to the function of extinction ratio enhancement of the classical SA structu

By placing a sequence of cascaded sum-frequency generation/difference-frequency generation (SFG/DFG) nonlinear processes inside an interferometer and periodically removing the sum-frequency wave, one can tailor the transfer function of the device to resemble an ideal step function. In particular, th
The effect of dispersion on an NRZ signal in 120 km of SMF28 fiber is partially compensated by a tunable all-optical signal regenerator (TASR). The TASR is comprised of a semiconductor optical amplifier incorporated in an asymmetric Sagnac loop. It is shown theoretically that the primary mechanism u
