Abstract
Frame clock is useful for packet processing such as header detection and payload demultiplexing. A novel all-optical frame clock recovery scheme based on "intensity reshaper" and mode-locked semiconductor fiber ring laser is demonstrated. The "intensity reshaper" including a polarization controller and a polarizer is the key element to realize frame clock recovery from equal-amplitude even-multiplexed OTDM signals. In theory, a mathematical expression is given to analyze the intensity of harmonic of clock-frequency component. The relative intensity of each clock-frequency component will change with the alterative angle caused by adjusting the PC in the "intensity reshaper", so the desirable clock-frequency component can be enhanced, which is helpful for clock recovery. Moreover, the intensity of harmonic of clock-frequency component is also related to the pulse amplitude, width and period in the multiplexed data. In experiment, 2.5GHz frame clock is extracted from even-multiplexed 4x2.5GHz and 8x2.5GHz OTDM signals respectively. At the same time, bit clock is also recovered by using this scheme. The extracted clock pulses have several desirable features such as low timing jitter, broad wavelength tuning range and polarization independence. This scheme simplifies signal generation and propagation in OTDM systems, which can be applied to clock recovery in high-speed OTDM network.
