ABSTRACT:
An optical communication system is disclosed including an all-optical device whose output modulated optical beam is locked to an input modulated optical beam. In a specific embodiment of the system, the device may be a self-electro-optic effect device (SEED), which is operated as an oscillator by means of an associated tank circuit. Such an embodiment permits recovery of a clock frequency from a bit stream which is input into the device. When the output of the device is directed into an optical decision element, an all-optical regenerator may be realized.
