Abstract
The suitability of self-pulsating multi-section DFB lasers for high sp eed signal processing is shown. First, the locking behaviour to an inj ected 17.6 GHz signal with sinusoidal modulation is investigated and a locking range of 220 MHz is estimated using a modulated optical power of 7 muW. Second, all-optical clock recovery is demonstrated at 17.6 Gbit/s by replacing the sinusoidal modulation by an optical bit patter n with a peak-power of 150 muW.
