2R Regeneration of Time-Interleaved Multiwavelength Signals Based on Higher Order Four-Wave Mixing in a Fiber

All-optical 2R regeneration of two-wavelength time-interleaved signals is demonstrated using higher order four-wave mixing in a fiber. In this regeneration scheme, a single fiber and a pump are shared by the two channels. The results show that interchannel crosstalk can be avoided when pulses in the two channels are time separated by more than ~3 times their pulsewidth. A possible power monitoring to determine suitable time-interleaving condition is also discussed.
