A regenerator for differential phase-shift keying data, consisting of two Mach-Zehnder interferometers and two amplitude regenerators, is examined theoretically. The result, which shows that the phase error is suppressed if phase-preserving amplitude regenerators are used, provides a theoretical description of an already experimentally implemented regenerator.

In this work, we optimize the thermal performance of a double quantum well GaInNAs ridge waveguide laser using an accurate in-house 2D electro-opto-thermal laser simulator. The simulator has shown good agreement with experiments after a detailed calibration procedure. Using calibrated material parameters, we investigate the influence of the cladding doping level on the heat generation within the laser. It is found that due to the competition between Joule heating and free carrier absorption, an optimum cladding doping level exists.
