The concept of the all-fiberized multi-wavelength regenerator is analyzed, and the design methodology for operation at 40 Gb/s is presented. The specific methodology has been applied in the past for the experimental proof-of-principle of the technique, but it has never been reported in detail. The regenerator is based on a strong dispersion map that is implemented using alternating dispersion compensating fibers (DCF) and single-mode fibers (SMF), and minimizes the nonlinear interaction between the wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) channels. The optimized regenerator design with + 0.86 ps/nm/km average dispersion of the nonlinear fiber section is further investigated. The specific design is capable of simultaneously processing five WDM channels with 800 GHz channel spacing and providing Q-factor improvement higher than 1 dB for each channel. The cascadeability of the regenerator is also indicated using a 6-node metropolitan network simulation model. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. (EN)
