Abstract
A synchronisation scheme for an ultrahigh-speed optical drop demultipl exer is proposed, which simultaneously uses the optical demultiplexer gate as a phase-detector for the synchronisation electronics. A nonlin ear optical loop mirror (NOLM) switching at a drop rate of 155MHz was successfully locked on to a 40 Gbit/s RZ bit pattern.
