All-optical regeneration techniques

Basic principles of all-optical signal regeneration are presented, and main state-of-art techniques are reviewed. Optical fiber and semiconductor based devices are addressed, and some recently reported 2R and 3R signal regeneration experiments are discussed.RésuméLes principes de base de la régénération tout-optique de signaux de télécommunication sont présentés, ainsi qu’une revue des principales techniques actuellement étudiées, concernant les dispositifs à fibre et à semi-conducteurs. Quelques récentes expériences de régénération 2R et 3R sont également considérées.
