  • Patent number: 4019048
    Abstract: An optical pulse stream regenerator includes an optical receiver, a decision and timing circuit, and an optical transmitter. In response to an incident optical data pulse stream, a variable gain receiver section produces an electrical data pulse stream representing the incident optical data pulse stream. The receiver section is stabilized by having different variable gain devices respond to separate ranges of an automatic gain control signal. In response to the receiver section electrical data pulse stream, a phase-lock frequency-lock circuit in the timing circuit recovers a clock pulse stream that is synchronized with the incident optical data pulse stream, and the decision circuit regenerates an electrical data pulse stream representing the incident optical data pulse stream.
