Abstract :
We propose a semiconductor fiber laser incorporating a multi-channel nonlinear optical loop mirror for multi-channel all-optical signal processing. We perform mode-locking at different wavelengths using independent pump signals and demonstrate the application to all-optical clock recovery.
