Abstract
We report a fully integrated, passive, all-optical regenerator capable of terabit per second operation, based on a highly nonlinear chalcogenide glass rib waveguide followed by an integrated Bragg grating bandpass filter. We demonstrate a clear nonlinear power transfer curve with optical pulses, capable of improving the signal-to-noise ratio and reducing the bit error rate for digital signals.
