Abstract (en)

[origin: FR2813466A1] The invention concerns a regenerating device for wavelength-division multiplexed optical signals designed to simultaneously regenerate N channels of a multiplex. The invention is characterised in that at least one component of the regenerator (112, 152) is adapted to couple the input signal with a multiplex of N optical carriers, the regenerator component (112, 152) being made of a material having an inhomogeneous line broadening such that there should be no interaction between the various channels involved, within the component.
