Abstract
A 2R O/E/O wavelength converter is useful for bit rate transparency, though it has a limit on cascadability due to timing-jitter accumulation. In this paper, we propose a nonlinear signal model which is more practical than the commonly used sine wave model. With our model, we theoretically analyzed the effects of timing-jitter and the cascadability of a 2R O/E/O wavelength converter. To confirm the theoretical results, we measured the cascadability in a 40-km re-circulation loop for 10 Gb/s signal.
