Timing Jitter Transfer Function in the Temporal Talbot Effect

We report the predicted timing jitter transfer function for the temporal Talbot effect. The results, consistent with previous theoretical analyses, indicate a clear low-pass-like behavior, with significant jitter attenuation below a specific jitter cutoff frequency, and visible resonant peaks for frequencies satisfying secondary Talbot conditions. The observed transfer function makes the Talbot effect especially interesting for jitter mitigation in all-optical clock schemes.
