Numerical study of an optical regenerator exploiting self-phase modulation and spectral offset filtering at 40 Gbit/s
Topic: Nonlinear optics; International audience; In this work, we numerically investigate the performances of optical regenerators based on self-phase modulation and spectral offset filtering at 40 Gbit/s. We outline the different effects affecting the device performances and explain the choice of the optimal working power. The impact of the regenerator on the output signal is also analysed through a statistical approach. Both single- and double-stage configurations are investigated.

Self-phase modulation-based 2R regenerator including pulse compression and offset filtering for 42.6 Gbit/s RZ-33% transmission systems
International audience; We report on the experimental and theoretical study of a self-phase-modulation-based regenerator at 42.6 Gbit/s with a return-to-zero 33% format. We point out some detrimental effects such as intrachannel interactions and Brillouin scattering. An efficient solution, relying on a self-phase-modulation-based pulse compressor in combination with the regenerator, is proposed to overcome these detrimental phenomena. The experimental demonstration shows the effectiveness of a wavelength-transparent regenerator at 42.6 Gbit/s with a sensitivity-improvement of more than 5 dB and an eye-opening improvement of 2.3 dB in a back-to-back configuration, as well as a 10 times maxim…
A fiber-based limiter at 170 Gbit/s for all-optical regeneration
We report the numerical and experimental studies of a spectrally filtered fiber-based optical limiter at 170 Gbit/s. The device, including less than 1 km-long of highly nonlinear optical fiber and a 3 nm-width filter, exhibits good performance at an average input power of 14.5 dBm. No power penalty has been observed and a strong robustness against optical noise has been demonstrated.

Caractérisation théorique du régénérateur 2R exploitant l'automodulation de phase dans une fibre optique
National audience; Nous étudions théoriquement un régénérateur 2R exploitant l'automodulation de phase dans une fibre optique, suivie d'un filtrage spectral décalé en fréquence. Nous utilisons deux approches différentes mais complémentaires : l'approche « fonction de transfert » et l'approche « amélioration du facteur Q ». Nous mettons notamment en évidence l'impact de la gigue temporelle pour expliquer un désaccord entre les deux approches.
