Ks. Jepsen et al., 20 GBIT S OPTICAL 3R REGENERATION USING POLARIZATION-INDEPENDENT MONOLITHICALLY INTEGRATED MICHELSON INTERFEROMETER/, Electronics Letters, 34(5), 1998, pp. 472-474
An optical 3R regenerator is demonstrated at 20Gbit/s using a polarisa
tion-independent, all-optical decision gate realised by a monolithical
ly integrated Michelson interferometer based on semiconductor optical
amplifiers. The bit error ratio and jitter suppression capabilities ar
e analysed.
