Abstract

A 3R (re-timing, re-amplifying, and re-shaping) regeneration system is proposed, for the first time, to process multiple WDM (wavelength-division-multiplexing) channels simultaneously Its re-timing capability is investigated by applying polarization-scrambling-induced jitter. Jitter tolerance up to 0.5UI_pp is demonstrated.
