Clock-distribution with instantaneous synchronization for 160 Gbit/s optical time-domain multiplexed systems packet transmission

摘要

We demonstrate for the first time, to our knowledge, a clock-distribution method for ultra-high-speed optical timedomainnmultiplexed systems data packets that provides instantaneous synchronization, fast locking/unlockingntimes, and a highly stable bursty clock, enabling error-free operation of 160 to 10 Gbit=s time demultiplexing withna power penalty of 1:5 dB after 51 km transmission in standard single-mode fiber (ITU G.652).
