Abstract :
This study presents a novel and cost-effective 1.3-mum all-optical 2R regenerator based on a two-mode injection-locked distributed feedback laser diode. The proposed 2R regenerator, with 14.13-dB small signal gain, has achieved an amplifier-free 10-Gb/s straight line transmission over 60 km while keeping the power penalty less than 0.84 dB at bit-error rate (BER) =10-9. In addition, properties like BER degradation, output extinction ratio, gain, and data-rate transparency are also experimentally investigated
