Study of high performance Re-timing using a 40 Gb/s hybrid-integrated mach-zehnder all-optical regenerator

We experimentally show that a hybrid-integrated Mach-Zehnder switch with a high performance gate profile allows retiming of optical signals with an accuracy of 500-700fs even if the input timing jitter is increased to 3ps. © 2004 Optical Society of America.

Enhanced performance of an all-optical parity checker using a single Mach-Zehnder interferometer

An all-optical parity checker is proposed that requires only a single Mach-Zehnder interferometer. Simulation results demonstrate an 8dB improvement in extinction ratio at 10 Gb/s operation. © 1999 Optical Society of America.

Hybridisation platform demonstrating all optical wavelength conversion at 10 and 20Gbit/s

The development of a high performance hybrid integration platform is demonstrated using an all optical wavelength converter based on an integrated SOA MZI. The device structure, transfer functions, power penalties and regenerative properties are presented. © 2004 Optical Society of America.
