Multiwavelength clock recovery is especially desirable in systems that use wavelength-division-multiplexed technology. A multiwavelength clock-recovery device can greatly simplify costs by eliminating the need to have a separate regenerator for each wavelength. This letter discusses multiwavelength all-optical clock recovery using stimulated Brillouin scattering.Index Terms-Clock recovery, optical fiber communication, optical fiber device, optical nonlinearity, wavelength-division multiplexing.
Algorithms belonging to the class of pixel-based reconstruction (PBR) algorithms, which are similar to simultaneous iterative reconstruction techniques (SIRTs) for reconstruction of objects from their fan beam projections in X-ray transmission tomography, are discussed. The general logic of these algorithms is discussed. Simulation studies indicate that, contrary to previous results with parallel beam projections, the iterative algebraic algorithms do not diverge when a more logical technique of obtaining the pseudoprojections is used. These simulations were carried out under conditions in which the number of object pixels exceeded (double) the number of detector pixel readings, i.e., the equations were highly underdetermined. The effect of the number of projections on the reconstruction and the convergence (empirical) to the exact solution is shown. For comparison, the reconstructions obtained by convolution backprojection are also given.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
