Triple 640 km cascade of tunable all optical regenerators in a 10 Gb/s WDM field trial over 160 km per span distance in MCI's metro network

We demonstrated a tunable-all-optical-signal-regenerator based on a SOA incorporated in a Sagnac-loop for performing 10-Gb/s-WDM 2-R signal regeneration. Triple 640 km cascading 2-Rs and hybrid EDFA/Raman amplifier over 160 km per span at total 1920 km field fiber. (2 pages)
