Abstract
Using a fiber-optic stimulated-Brillouin-scattering amplifier as an ac tive filter, we have demonstrated optical clock recovery from 5-Gbit/s return-to-zero-format optical data. Definite patterns and pseudorando m bit sequences were tested. This scheme requires no prior knowledge o f the clock frequency and is well suited for operation at higher data rates.
