Abstract :
We demonstrated simultaneous demultiplexing and clock recovery for a 160-Gb/s optical time-division multiplexing (OTDM) signal through a fiber transmission line by using a symmetric Mach-Zehnder switch and a mode-locked laser diode in an electrooptic feedback loop. Moreover, synchronous optical sampling of the OTDM signal with the recovered clock was also demonstrated.
