Simultaneous all-optical individual channel clock extraction and wavelength conversion using an optically injected Fabry-Perot laser diode

We propose and demonstrate a novel technique that uses a Fabry Perot laser diode （FP LD） to perform simultaneous all optical individual channel clock extraction and wavelength conversion. The nonlinear dynamical period 1 oscillation can occur when a semiconductor laser is optically injected. By utilizing the cross gain modulation effect and the period 1 oscillation harmonic frequency locked in an optically injected semiconductor laser, we can extract the wavelength conversional individual channel optical clock from the optical time division multiplexing （OTDM） signal. In a FP LD, we numerically simulate the extraction of 20 GHz optical clock at 1550 nm from the 2×20 Gb/s OTDM signal at 1555 nm, and experimentally obtain the -105 dBc/Hz phase noise frequency division clock of 1236 GHz to 618 GHz with simultaneous wavelength conversion from 155024 nm to 154591 nm. Moreover, we investigate the influence of the injection optical power level, wavelength detuning, the FP LD's bias current level and the longitudinal mode selection on the optical clock extraction. This method is potential to technologically apply in the all optical demultiplexing and wavelength routing in the OTDM mixed wavelength division multiplexing （WDM） communication system.
