  • Abstract
    We have shown the first demonstration of 2R pass-through regeneration of a 10 Gb/s data signal in an MMI-SOA. The measurements show extinction ratio improvement as well as sensitivity improvement. The latter is predominately due to noise suppression. The good high-speed performance, along with the compact and simple design, makes this a promising device.
