    Abstract: A method for regenerating optical signal includes determining a source optical signal to be regenerated, adding a first pump optical signal and a second pump optical signal to the source optical signal to yield an intermediate optical signal, creating a first conjugate optical signal and a second conjugate optical signal from the intermediate optical signal, and performing degenerate phase-sensitive amplification utilizing the first conjugate optical signal, the second conjugate optical signal and the source optical signal to yield an output optical signal. The source optical signal is modulated with a multilevel modulation format. Each conjugate optical signal has a phase that is a conjugate of a multiple of the phase of the source optical signal.

    Abstract: The invention provides a wavelength division multiplex communication link for optical transmissions, which is able to provide a ultra high bit-rate wavelength division multiplex communication at a 1550 nm wavelength band using the existing 1300 nm band zero dispersion of a single mode fiber network.

And, a dispersion flat fiber which makes the dispersion slope zero is further connected, with a line length which makes the remaining dispersion value zero, to the terminal end of a connection link of the single mode fiber SMF and dispersion compensating fiber DCF, whereby both the dispersion slope of a single mode fiber and dispersion value thereof can be adjusted to be zero at the terminal end of the dispersion flat fiber DFF.
