Bit-Error-Rate Performance Enhancement of All-Optical Clock Recovery at 42.66 Gb/s Using Passive Prefiltering

Abstract

International audienceIn this letter, we demonstrate the bit-error-rate (BER) performance enhancement of an all-optical clock recovery device at 42.66 Gb/s using a prefiltering operation in front of a self-pulsating semiconductor laser. The prefilter is composed of a simple passive fiber-Bragg-grating-based Fabry-Perot bandpass filter. The assessment is obtained thanks to BER measurement using a data remodulation technique

“…The FRSL of the MLL plays a central role in the jitter filtering function. In this section, we'll describe the first all-optical clock recovery experiment [25] and review some recent results [6,7,14,15,20,21,27,28,[37][38][39].…”
