Abstract
We develop a theoretical model to estimate the BER evolutions in optical translucent networks in a more accurate way. The model calculates the BER increment at each regeneration site with considerations of reshaping nonlinearity and jitter effect for 40 Gb/s signals. Based on the model, we propose a novel translucent optical network infrastructure that includes all-optical 2R regenerators and uses mixed operation of 1R/2R/3R regenerators for cost and power consumption savings. Simulation results show that our proposed infrastructure reduces the number of O/E/O 3R regenerators to less than 50% and achieves effective power saving.
