Abstract
An all-optical clock recovery module is developed and tested in a 10Gb it/s 105 km transmission experiment. A penalty free function of the op tical clock relative to an electronic phase-locked loop is demonstrate d. The compact module is wavelength and polarisation insensitive and r equires nu electrical radiofrequency equipment. Continuous frequency t uning from 5 to 22 GHz indicates thr potential for bit rate flexible c lock recovery.
