B. Sartorius et al., WAVELENGTH AND POLARIZATION-INDEPENDENT ALL-OPTICAL SYNCHRONIZATION OF HIGH-FREQUENCY DFB TYPE SELF-PULSATIONS, Electronics Letters, 32(11), 1996, pp. 1026-1028
Wavelength and polarisation independent synchronisation of DFB type se
lf-pulsations is demonstrated for the first time. Newly developed DFB
lasers with an integrated phase tuning section are applied. Power leve
ls in the mW range are sufficient to achieve a good synchronisation fu
nction by optical signals injected within the gain spectrum of the las
er. All optical clock recovery from PRBS data is demonstrated at 10Gbi
t/s.
