All-Optical Clock Recovery Using Nonlinear Kerr Effect in Optical Fibers, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Salehi, Javad (Supervisor)
Abstract
In this thesis, a brief review of the previously introduced all optical clock recovery methods are presented and then, two novel all optical PLLs, based on nonlinear Kerr effects in fiber optics, are introduced and thoroughly investigated. To obtain more insight into the subject, firstly, nonlinear Kerr effect and its two main applications, including FOPA amplifiers and optical Kerr shutters are described. One of the proposed PLLs employs a FOPA in its error signal detection process, and the other is based on using two Kerr shutter switches to detect the error signal. Since the PLLs are based on the quasi-instantaneous Kerr effect, they are expected to be suitable in ultra-high speed...
