OPTICAL SIGNAL REGENERATOR FOR HIGH BIT-RATE TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS

摘要

A pulsed optical signal regenerator device comprises three optical stages (11,12,13) arranged in cascade between an input (14) to which is applied a signal Si to be regenerated and an output (15) at which is available a regenerated signal Sr. The first stage (11) comprises a first noise suppressor on the zero for noise reduction in the spaces between the input signal pulses. The second stage (12) comprises an inverting converter for transferring to a clock signal (Ck) the information carried by the signal outgoing from the first stage and introducing a logical inversion of the signal for transformation of the pulses affected by noise in spaces affected by noise. The third stage (13) comprises a second noise suppressor on the zero for reduction of the noise in the spaces between the signal pulses output from the second stage. The clock signal can be at a tributary bit rate of the entering signal to obtain a demultiplexer function also.
