Abstract :
In this paper we will discuss a range of applications, pertinent to phase-modulated OFDM superchannels, for which optical signal processing can be used. We demonstrate a novel technique for clock recovery of a 53.5 Gbit/s BPSK superchannel, which uses the well-known four-wave mixing process in a SOA.
