Abstract
A novel geometry for all-optical clock recovery is demonstrated using a semiconductor laser amplifier in a nonlinear optical loop mirror to modelock a figure eight laser. A clock signal can be recovered over a broad locking bandwidth of 0.5 MHz when random data at 1 Gbit/s are input to the system.Keywords
