摘要：
Optical regeneration technique using an electro-absorption modulator (EAM) is reviewed. Simple 3R optical regeneration using an EAM was proposed and verified at 20 Gbit/s. The optical nonlinearities including cross-absorption modulation (XAM) and cross-phase modulation (XPM) induced in an EAM were quantitatively characterized by experiment. High bit-rate 2R type all-optical regeneration (wavelength conversion) at 100Gbit/s was demonstrated by an EAM in conjunction with a delayed interferometer (DI) with required optical pulse energy of 1.5 pJ. It was verified that the operable bandwidth of the EAM-DI wavelength converter at 40 Gbit/s covered almost full range of C-band without tuning operation conditions.
