Optoelectrical Clock Recovery with Dispersion Monitoring for HighSpeed Transmission

摘要

The proposed clock recovery scheme introduces electrooptical modulation to down convert the clock frequency facilitating succeeding narrow band filtering by a phase locked loop (PLL) with ordinary radio frequency (RF) devices, further, employs a quadrature phase detector in the PLL to provide an indication signal for monitoring residual dispersion. It was demonstrated in a polarization multiplexed 160-Gbit/s optical non-return to zero quadrature phase shift keying (NRZ-QPSK) transmission system.
