Abstract :
We have achieved penalty-free data pulse regeneration at 84 Gbps down to an error rate level of 10/sup -11/ with a pseudorandom data pattern length of 2/sup 31/-1 for a time division multiplexing (TDM) optical communication system. An all-optical interferometric semiconductor regenerator was used.
