Abstract

All-optical clock recovery at line rate (34 GHz) was demonstrated by narrow-band resonant modulation of a single-mode monolithic laser diode. The dependence of timing jitter of the recovered clock on frequency detuning and injected optical signal power has been investigated. This scheme does not require an intracavity saturable absorber and the recovered clock signal exhibits a large locking range.
