Optimised 2-R All-optical Regenerator With Low Polarisation Sensitivity Penalty (<1dB) For Optical Networking Applications

摘要

2R experiments at 10Gbit/s have been performed using a low polarisation sensitive SOA-Mach-Zehnder interferometer. Excess penalty below 1dB due to polarisation sensitivity has been measured over 15 and 25nm input wavelength range with respectively 21 and 25dB/0.1nm input OSNR.
