  • Patent number: 6775481
    Abstract: An optical signal regeneration device having an interferometric structure with two arms. Each of the arms has a medium, the optical power output of which is variable with the optical power input. The first arm receives, through an input coupler, a continuous wave and the signal to be regenerated. The second arm receives through the input coupler, a continuous wave signal and a clock signal. A filter, centered on the continuous wave wavelength, receives the output signal of the interferometric structure through the coupler. The filter output signal constitutes the regenerated 3R signal.

  • Publication number: 20010028492
    Abstract: An optical signal regeneration device comprises an interferometric structure having two arms (11, 12). Each of the arms (11, 12) comprises a medium the optical power output of which is variable with the optical power input. The first arm (11) receives, through input coupling means (13), a continuous wave and the signal to be regenerated. The second arm receives through input coupling means (13) the continuous wave and a clock signal. A filter 21, centered on the continuous wave wavelength, receives through coupling means (14), the output signal of the interferometric structure (10). The filter output signal constitutes the regenerated 3R signal.
