Abstract

All-optical clock recovery is a key technology in all-optical 3R signal regeneration (Re-amplification, Retiming, and Reshaping) process. In this paper, a monolithic integrated three-section amplified feedback semiconductor laser (AFL) is demonstrated as an all optical clock regenerator. We fabricated a three-section AFL using quantum well intermixing process without regrowth instead of butt-joint process. The tunable characteristics of three-section AFL were investigated, and all optical clock recovery for 40Gb/s return to zero (RZ) 2³¹−1 pseudorandom binary sequence (PRBS) is demonstrated experimentally using AFL with time jitter about 689.2fs.
