All-optical 2R regeneration in an SOA-based interferometric Michelson structure using a novel technique is experimentally demonstrated. An output extinction ratio of ~10 dB is measured for an input extinction ratio of 6 dB and a noise suppression capability of ~4.5 dB is obtained, clearly demonstrating the feasibility of this technique.

Inspec keywords: optical fibre networks; semiconductor optical amplifiers; optical repeaters; Michelson interferometers

Other keywords: noise suppression capability; input extinction ratio; all-optical 2R regeneration; output extinction ratio; interferometric Michelson structure; semiconductor optical amplifiers

Subjects: Semiconductor lasers; Optical fibre networks; Optical communication equipment
