Abstract
All-optical regeneration is a key functionality for implementing all-optical networks. We present a simple theory for the bit-error-rate in links employing all-optical regenerators, which elucidates the interplay between the noise and nonlinearity of the regenerator. A novel device structure is analyzed, emphasizing general aspects of active semiconductor waveguides.
