All-optical 2R regeneration at 40 Gbit/s in an SOA-based Mach-Zehnder interferometer

All-optical 2R regeneration in an SOA-based Mach-Zehnder interferometer is demonstrated at 40 Gbit/s. The regenerative capabilities combined with an input power dynamic range of 16 dB demonstrate the feasibility of this technique at very high bit rates.
