提出了一种基于多模干涉耦合器（MMI）半导体光放大器的新型全光2 R再生器。传递函数的静态测量揭示了数字传递特性和消光比的高增加。实验结果与模拟结果吻合良好，模拟结果是使用改进的光束传播法程序完成的。该器械对MMI长度具有高公差。该器件采用全有源布局制造，无需进行有源/无源集成，结构非常紧凑。
A novel all-optical 2R regenerator based on a multimode interference coupler (MMI) semiconductor optical amplifier is presented. Static measurements of the transfer function reveal a digital transfer characteristic and a high increase in extinction ratio. The experiments are in good agreement with simulations, which have been done using a modified beam propagation method program. The device has a high tolerance to the MMI length. It has been fabricated in an all-active layout, avoiding the need for active/passive integration and is very compact.
