All-optical reshaping based on a passive saturable absorber microcavity device for future 160-Gb/s applications
Abstract
A vertical-access passive all-optical switching gate has been used to regenerate the zero levels of a "... 01010101..." 160-Gb/s bit pattern at 1561 nm. Autocorrelation function measurements show that an extinction up to 11.7 dB of the "ghost-pulses" can be achieved.
