Abstract :
All-optical 2R regeneration of 10 Gbit/s RZ data transmitted over 30000 km in a dispersion-managed system was demonstrated using an electroabsorption modulator at the receiver. The modulator suppresses the accumulated optical noise, improving the signal-to-noise ratio of the transmitted data.
