Abstract
We report all optical clock recovery based on a monolithic integrated
four-section amplified feedback semiconductor laser (AFL), with the
different sections integrated based on the quantum well intermixing (QWI)
technique. The beat frequency of an AFL is continuously tunable in the range
of 19.8–26.3GHz with an extinction ratio
above 8 dB, and the 3-dB linewidth is close to 3 MHz. All- optical clock
recovery for 20 Gb/s was demonstrated experimentally using the AFL, with a
time jitter of 123.9 fs. Degraded signal clock recovery was also
successfully demonstrated using both the dispersion and polarization mode
dispersion (PMD) degraded signals separately.
