Preliminary experimental results are reported on application demonstra
tion of an optical nonlinear bistable element based on a semiconductor
multilayered distributed-feedback/Fabry-Perot (DFB/FP) structure. A p
roof-of-concept of optical clock recovery and transparent self-routein
g (all-optical self-switching) was demonstrated. The results confirmed
the device's promising for applications in transparent fibre-optic te
lecommunications networks.
