摘要：

Experimental 2R regeneration characteristics of an Optical Decision Circuit based on a Mach-Zehnder Interferometer with Gain Clamped Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers in both arms are reported for the first time. The decision circuit gives a true regeneration, i.e., a digital characteristic on a linear instead of a logarithmic (or dB) scale for the input and/or output power.
