Abstract

The temporal Talbot effect has been studied as a means for lossless optical pulse repetition rate multiplication and is a process which occurs in a first order dispersive medium. In this paper, we demonstrate all-optical clock recovery for short pulse (low duty cycle RZ) communications using single-mode fiber as a dispersive medium and the use of compact, linearly chirped fiber Bragg gratings (LCFBGs).
