What is it about?

In this work, we proposed an all-optical 3R Regeneration (re-amplifying, re-shaping and re-timing) depend on an optical parametric amplifier based on four-wave mixing (3R-OPA-FWM). The 3R-OPA-FWN is composed of an acousto optical filter for bit rates of 2.5 Gb/s to 10 Gb/s, a single continuous wave (CW) pump laser, a highly nonlinear photonic Crystal fiber (HNL-PCF) and a Gaussian Optical Filter (GOF). The degraded signal was restored by 3R-OPA-FWM and obtained results of eye-opening, Q-factor, Bit Error Rate (BER), Optical Signal to Noise Ratio (OSNR) and percentage of timing jitter were satisfactorily improved in relation to the literature. The 3R regenerator proposed here was simulated and analyzed up to 1800 km of optical link with acousto optical filter and without acousto optical filter and input power from −20 dBm to 0 dBm through the Optisystem 15.0 software by Optiwave Corporation that was used for the analytical resolution of non-linear Schödinger equation (NLSE).

Why is it important?

High speed communication systems and over long distances.

Perspectives

In this sense, we believed the proposed project can be very useful for the development of other works, such as, in high speed communication systems and over long distances.
