Abstract :
Simultaneous all-optical clock-recovery of WDM channels at 10 Gbit/s is demonstrated in an actively-modelocked fibre ring laser configuration using a novel 22-channel semiconductor optical amplifier array module integrated with two waveguide grating routers. The technique is based on using adjacent free-spectral ranges for the incoming data and recovered clock
