Abstract
We experimentally demonstrate an optical clock recovery scheme for nonreturn-to-zero differential phase shifting keying (NRZ-DPSK) data. By using an optical circuit made by a proper fiber Bragg filter and a Fabry-Peacuterot based clock extraction circuit, we obtain a stable and low jitter 10-GHz optical clock signal. This signal shows comparable performance with the original electrical clock in bit-error-rate measurements and oscilloscope triggering operation.
