Recirculating loop demonstration of 40 Gbit/s all-optical 3R data regeneration using a semiconductor nonlinear interferometer

Cascaded 40 Gbit/s 3R data regeneration is demonstrated for the first time, using an all-optical semiconductor nonlinear interferometer. With a regenerator spacing of 100 km, the error-free transmission distance in a recirculating loop is extended by an order of magnitude, from 200 km to greater than 2000 km, thus demonstrating the excellent cascadablility of such a device.
