Simplified optoelectronic 3R regenerator using nonlinear electro-optical transformation in an electroabsorption modulator.
A simplified optoelectronic 3R regenerator without electrical signal processing is demonstrated by utilizing the nonlinear electro-optical transfer function of an electroabsorption modulator. 3R regeneration of impaired 10-Gb/s RZ signals is demonstrated, verifying the proposed concept.
