Optical 3R regeneration with all-optical timing extraction and simultaneous wavelength conversion using a single Electro-Absorption Modulator

All-optical timing extraction, re-shaping, and wavelength conversion are performed simultaneously using a single EAM at l0Gbit/s with 2
³¹
-1 PRBS data. Extracted timing is used for clock recovery and re-timing. The 3R power penalty improvement is 4.7dB.
