Optical Regeneration

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Book cover All-Optical Signal Processing

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Optical Sciences ((SSOS,volume 194))

Abstract

In this chapter we review the need, general principles and approaches used to regenerate mainly phase encoded signals of differing levels of coding complexity. We will describe the key underpinning technology and present the current state-of-the-art, incorporating an appropriate historic perspective throughout.
