Abstract
An ultrafast all-optical timing extraction method using an optical tank circuit is described, and experimental results at 2 Gb/s are reported. A Fabry-Perot resonator, whose free spectral range is equal to the clock frequency of the incoming optical data stream, is utilized as the optical tank circuit. Its fully passive structure and ultra-high-bit-rate operation ( approximately Tb/s) is possible through decreasing resonator length.Keywords
