Abstract :
All-optical clock recovery from 180-Gb/s data streams has been demonstrated using a self-pulsing multisection gain-coupled distributed feedback laser. The laser produces self-pulsations with a tuning range of more than 230 GHz. The recovered clock has a jitter of less than 410 fs over a dynamic range of 7 dB.
