Abstract
CORD is a 2.5-Gb/s/lambda wavelength division multiple (WDM) packet sw itched network experiment, We have experimentally demonstrated a pilot -tone transport for the high-speed data synchronization in CORD, The o ptical power penalty is minimized to about 1 dB by equalizing the freq uency response of the payload data channel and optimizing the pilot-to ne modulation depth. The main advantages of the pilot-tone transport a re: 1) a simple transceiver structure; and 2) a fast clock recovery ti me (within 40 b, 16 ns).
