Abstract :
An interface for converting non-return to zero (NRZ) and RZ input signals to RZ output signals at 10 Gbit/s based on two all-optical wavelength converters is demonstrated. The interface performs bit-synchronisation and format and wavelength conversion combined with 3R regenerative capabilities, including jitter-to-amplitude modulation transfer suppression
