Abstract
An optical-and-electrical hybrid-type amplitude regenerator for an NRZ–DPSK signal suffering from optical amplifier noise is described. The system is a feed-forward control circuit composed of a coupler, a photo detector, and an intensity modulator, and works to suppress intensity fluctuations in a DPSK signal while preserving phase information. A schematic explanation of how the DPSK transmission performance is improved with intensity noise suppression during transmission is presented, and an experiment to demonstrate its effect is conducted.
