Picosecond-Accuracy All-Optical Bit Phase Sensing Using a Nonlinear Optical LoopMirror

摘要

We demonstrate picosecond-accuracy bit phase comparison using a nonlinear opticalloop mirror. We use this all-optical bit phase comparator to synchronize an external cavity modelocked diode laser operating at 1O-GHz to a soliton compression source operating at 40-GHz using an electrooptic phase lock loop. We believe this is tne first demonstration of soliton compression source
