Abstract :
Multiwavelength clock recovery is especially desirable in systems that use wavelength-division-multiplexed technology. A multiwavelength clock-recovery device can greatly simplify costs by eliminating the need to have a separate regenerator for each wavelength. This letter discusses multiwavelength all-optical clock recovery using stimulated Brillouin scattering.
