Abstract
Cascaded 40Gbit/s 3R data regeneration is demonstrated for the first time, using an all-optical semiconductor nonlinear interferometer. With a regener ator spacing of 100km, the error-free transmission distance in a recirculat ing loop is extended by an order of magnitude, from 200km to greater than 2 000km, thus demonstrating the excellent cascadablility of such a device.
