Broad-band optical clock recovery system using two-photon absorption

We report a new type of optical clock recovery system that uses two-photon absorption in a silicon avalanche photodiode. Unlike many earlier approaches, the system is compact, broad-band, polarization-insensitive, and scalable to high bit rates. The system was successfully applied at 12.5 Gb/s with...
