TLDR
In this article, a SILC-BLD was used to improve the bit error rate of degraded optical signals by converting the signal wavelength at the same time without wavelength filters or isolators.Abstract:
Digital optical signal regeneration with a SILC-BLD markedly improves the bit error rate of degraded optical signals. The extinction improved from 3 dB to 17 dB and intensity fluctuation was suppressed from 3 dB to 0 dB. This diode can not only regenerate the signal but also converts the signal wavelength at the same time without wavelength filters or isolators. >read more
