Abstract :
We demonstrate a novel 40-Gb/s optical 3R regenerator that utilizes a traveling-wave electroabsorption modulator-based optical clock recovery. A regenerative fiber XPM wavelength converter is used to implement re-shaping function. 3R regeneration is demonstrated with a reduced timing jitter.
