“…5 Among the various techniques for optical clock recovery, self-pulsating semiconductor lasers have attractive properties that include high bit rate operation, simplicity of operation, insensitivity to the input signal state-of-polarization, fast acquisition time, low power consumption, and compact size. Self-pulsating semiconductor lasers based on different configurations such as distributed-feed back (DFB) 6,7 and distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) 8,9 have demonstrated optical clock recovery at high bit rates.…”
