Mode-locking a laser with an optical data stream—all-optical clock recovery

Abstract

Recent advances in ultra fast all-optical active laser mode-locking techniques1,2 has permitted mode-locked lasers to be driven by high-speed streams of optical pulses. In this paper, we describe a novel regime for actively mode-locked lasers whereby a pseudorandom optical data sequence is used to modulate a laser cavity. Since the output of the mode-locked laser—a train of short (ps) pulses at the base rate of the data—can follow both frequency and phase changes of the driving signal, the configuration constitutes the basis of an all-optical dock recovery circuit.
