Abstract :
An experimental analysis of the timing jitter associated with sub-picosecond pulses produced from a quantum dash passively mode-locked Fabry-Pérot laser is produced. Moreover, application as an all-optical clock recovery function for a 40Gb/s data rates with non-return-to-zero (NRZ) modulation format is demonstrated using this laser.
