Optical Clock Recovery Using a Polarization-Modulator-Based Frequency-Doubling Optoelectronic Oscillator

We propose and demonstrate a flexible optical clock recovery scheme using a polarization-modulator-based frequency-doubling optoelectronic oscillator (OEO). The proposed system can extract both prescaled clock and line-rate clock from a degraded high-speed digital signal using only low-frequency devices. A simple theory is developed to study the physical basis of the optical clock recovery. The OEO operation from a free-running mode to an injection-locking mode is investigated. The locking range is quantitatively predicted. An experiment is then implemented to verify the proposed scheme. A prescaled clock at 10 GHz and a line-rate clock at 20 GHz are successfully extracted from a degraded 20 Gb/s optical time-division-multiplexed (OTDM) signal. The locking range and the phase noise performance are also experimentally investigated. Clock recovery from data signals that have no explicit subharmonic tone is also achieved. The proposed system can be modified to extract prescaled clock and line-rate clock from 160 Gb/s data signal using all 40-GHz devices.      

Alternative modulation formats in N×40 Gb/s WDM standardfiber RZ-transmission systems

A comparison of carrier-suppressed return-to-zero (CSRZ) and single sideband return-to-zero (SSB-RZ) formats is made in an attempt to find the optimum modulation format for high bit rate optical transmission systems. Our results show that CSRZ is superior to return-to-zero (RZ) and SSB-RZ with respect to signal degradation due to Kerr nonlinearities and chromatic dispersion in wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) as well as in single-channel 40-Gb/s systems over standard single-mode fibers (SSMF). It is shown that CSRZ enables a maximum spectral efficiency of approximately 0.7 (b/s)/Hz in a N×40 Gb/s WDM system with equally polarized channels. Furthermore, the CSRZ format in N×40 Gb/s WDM systems shows no further signal degradation compared to single-channel transmission     

Prescaled clock recovery based on small timing misalignment of datapulses

A simple and robust prescaled clock recovery technique is analyzed and demonstrated. An electrical clock is extracted from an ultra-high-speed time-division multiplexed (TDM) RZ signal using a “classic” approach to clock recovery with a detector and a bandpass filter (BPF). A subharmonic tone at the base rate frequency is generated by inducing a small misalignment between adjacent pulses in the transmitted data. The subharmonic tone is recovered as a clock signal at the receiver. Numerical calculations clarify the effect of filter bandwidth, word length, and strength of timing shift on the received timing jitter. Furthermore, it is found numerically that correlated TDM channels will decrease the jitter of the recovered clock considerably. A clock recovery circuit is implemented into an experimental 40 Gb/s and 80 Gb/s optical TDM (O-TDM) system without any observed penalty. Measurements of the timing jitter of the recovered prescaled clock have been performed to verify the numerical results. A 10 GHz clock signal with subpicosecond root-mean-square timing jitter is recovered from a 40-Gb/s O-TDM sequence without a phase-locked loop (PLL) configuration. By using a PLL-configuration, the timing jitter is reduced further by 50%. A discussion on the influence on transmission capacity is performed in general and for nonlinear optical communication systems in particular

Error-free demultiplexing is achieved when the launched optical power into electro-absorption sampling window reaches 5.5 dBm without optical filter following the EDFA.     

Chromatic Dispersion Monitoring of CSRZ Signal for Optimum Compensation Using Extracted Clock‐Frequency Component

This paper presents a chromatic dispersion monitoring technique using a clock‐frequency component for carrier‐suppressed return‐to‐zero (CSRZ) signal. The clock‐frequency component is extracted by a clock‐extraction (CE) process. To discover which CE methods are most efficient for dispersion monitoring, we evaluate the monitoring performance of each extracted clock signal. We also evaluate the monitoring ability to detect the optimum amount of dispersion compensation when optical nonlinearity exists, since it is more important in nonlinear transmission systems. We demonstrate efficient CE methods of CSRZ signal to monitor chromatic dispersion for optimum compensation in high‐speed optical communication systems.     

Injection-locked Fabry-Pe/spl acute/rot laser with electronic feedback for clock recovery from high-speed OTDM signals

We demonstrate the use of an injection-locked Fabry-Pe/spl acute/rot laser diode with electronic feedback for base-rate clock recovery in N/spl times/10 Gb/s optical time-division-multiplexing (OTDM) systems. Injection-locking enhances the resonance frequency of the laser and the electrical feedback achieves strong resonance at the base-rate frequency of the injected data streams, enabling ultrastable electrical clock signal generation at the base rate of 10 GHz. Experimental demonstrations for clock recovery at 10 GHz from 40-Gb/s OTDM data streams and 4-1 demultiplexing of the data using the extracted clock after fiber transmission is presented. The timing jitter measured in the recovered electrical clock is less than 0.25 ps.     

Ultrahigh-speed clock recovery with phase lock loop based onfour-wave mixing in a traveling-wave laser diode amplifier

A new phase lock loop (PLL) is proposed and demonstrated for clock recovery from an ultrahigh-speed time-division multiplexed (TDM) optical signal. A traveling-wave laser-diode amplifier (TW-LDA) is used as a phase detector, and the cross-correlation component between the optical signal and an optical clock pulse train is detected as a four-wave-mixing (FWM) signal generated in the TW-LDA. A timing clock from a TDM signal is extracted as a prescaled electrical clock, and this prescaled clock is directly recovered from a randomly modulated TDM optical signal. A prescaled 6.3 GHz clock is successfully extracted from a 100 Gb/s signal using the timing comparison output obtained as the cross-correlation between the optical signal and a short (<10 ps) 6.3 GHz optical clock pulse train in the generated FWM light. A comparison of the PLL phase noise with a previously reported gain modulation method is also shown, and the possibility of the Tbit/s operation of this PLL is also considered in the experiments     

Bit rate and wavelength transparent all-optical clock recovery scheme for NRZ-coded PRBS signals

All-optical clock recovery from 40-Gb/s nonreturn-to-zero (NRZ) pseudorandom binary sequence data streams based on self-pulsating lasers is presented. A compact preprocessing circuit is utilized to convert an NRZ signal to a pseudoreturn-to-zero sequence before injecting into the optical clock. It comprises a semiconductor optical amplifier followed by a periodical wavelength-division-multiplexing demultiplexer filter. A stable sinusoidal clock signal with a root-mean-square jitter below 700 fs is detected at the output of the self-pulsating laser within data dynamic range of more than 8 dB. The performance of the all-optical clock recovery scheme is investigated by varying the bit rates between 39.81 and 43.02 Gb/s as well as for various wavelengths in the C-band.
