Abstract:

All-optical timing extraction and optical clock recovery for high-speed return-to-zero binary optical data streams using the timing difference between clock and data counter-propagating optical pulses in a non-linear optical waveguide where the first pulse to arrive at the non-linear optical waveguide partially saturates the transmission properties of the waveguide resulting in a change of the transmission properties seen by the lagging pulse. A balanced photo-detector makes delay-dependent comparisons of the clock and data pulses peak power and generates an error signal used in a phase-locked loop configuration to synchronize the clock to the data stream.
