Optimisation of DSF and SOA based phase conjugators by incorporating noise-suppressing fibre gratings

We compare the performance of dispersion-shifted-fibre (DSF) and semiconductor-optical-amplifier (SOA) based phase conjugators for a 10 Gb/s non-return-to-zero system with respect to conversion efficiency, noise figure and distortion. Fibre gratings are used for signal extraction and amplified spont...
