Abstract
Conference Title: 2014 European Conference on Optical Communication (ECOC) Conference Start Date: 2014, Sept. 21 Conference End Date: 2014, Sept. 25 Conference Location: Cannes, France We propose an all-optical regeneration consisting of a phase quantizer based on delay and summation of higher harmonics and an optical amplitude squeezer. We experimentally demonstrate phase noise reduction of 40% and OSNR-gain of 3dB at BER 10-3 for 30-Gbaud QPSK signals.
