All-Optical 2R-Regenerative Interconnection Node for DPSK Polarization-Division Multiplexed Systems

We propose an all-optical 2R-regenerative interconnection node which is applied between wide area network and metro area network for DPSK polarization-division multiplexed systems with the functions of signal format conversion and signal quality improvement.
