Abstract
A novel all-optical frequency multiplication/recovery technique based on a repetitive pulse intensity matching is proposed and demonstrated. Unlike a rational harmonic mode locking requiring additional stabilizing functions, this technique can be used to generate stable and input polarization indepe ndent optical pulse trains with the repetition rates of 2.5-12.5 GHz from 2 .5 GHz driving pulse. Also, this scheme can be applied to the extraction of the clock signal from a pseudorandom bit sequence signal. (C) 2001 Elsevie r Science B.V. All rights reserved.
