Combining control electronics with SOA to equalize packet-to-packet power variations for optical 3R regeneration in optical networks at 10 Gbit/s
We report on the combined effects of control electronics and a SOA as to suppress packet to packet power fluctuations. Associated to a SOA-MZI based 3R regenerator, we demonstrate a power dynamic range of 9 dB.
