Abstract
In this manuscript, we present a performance analysis of a cross-gain modulation (XGM) exploitation in bulk-type semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA)-based all-optical 2R regeneration strategy. Performance evaluation is carried out for return-to-zero (RZ) as well as non-return-to-zero (NRZ) data for various signal line rates. Further, investigations through simulations have been carried out in order to determine optimum pump probe wavelength separation as well for the XGM in bulk-SOA-based 2R regeneration strategy. It has been shown that the XGM in SOA-based 2R regeneration scheme has the ability to work up to 50 Gbps line rates for RZ as well as NRZ pre-coded signals. It has been also demonstrated that there should be at least ~ ± 3 nm separation between pump and probe wavelengths for better eye-opening factor (EO%) performance for NRZ as well as RZ cases.
