Abstract:
All-optical regeneration based on self-phase modulation in microstructured fibers is studied. The effects of pulse peak power into the fiber,pulse width and filter parameters on the performance of the regenerator are investigated. The effects of normal dispersion and anomalous dispersion of the microstructured fiber on optical regeneration are compared. The numerical results show that optical regeneration can be achieved by using microstructured fibers with normal dispersion or anomalous dispersion,but the normal dispersion decreases the oscillatory structure in the broadened spectra and obtain a better regenerator transfer function. In order to achieve optical regeneration,the input peak power into the microstructured fiber and the filter parameters need to meet certain requirements. By optimizing those parameters,a better regeneration result can be obtained.
