All Optical Timing Extraction With Frequency Division Using A Twin Section Laser Diode, Gerald Farrell, P. Phelan, Joe Hegarty, J. A. Shields Jan 1993

All Optical Timing Extraction With Frequency Division Using A Twin Section Laser Diode, Gerald Farrell, P. Phelan, Joe Hegarty, J. A. Shields

Articles

All-optical timing extraction from a coded line signal with division of the extracted clock frequency is demonstrated using a single twin-section self-pulsating laser diode. Either the bit-rate clock or a submultiple of the bit-rate clock can be extracted, depending only on the dc biases applied to the self-pulsating laser diode. Timing extraction is carried out for the first time without optical injection locking of the self-pulsating laser diode by the optical data source.


The Influence Of The Unlocked Characteristics Of A Self-Pulsating Laser Diode On Synchronisation, Gerald Farrell, P. Phelan, Joe Hegarty Jan 1993

The Influence Of The Unlocked Characteristics Of A Self-Pulsating Laser Diode On Synchronisation, Gerald Farrell, P. Phelan, Joe Hegarty

Articles

All-optical synchronization and timing extraction based on self-pulsating twin section lasers has been demonstrated. We investigate the variation of the unlocked full-width at- half-maximum of the fundamental of the RF spectrum of a self-pulsating laser diode. We show for the first time that the value of the unlocked FWHM has a direct influence on the power required to maintain synchronization. We also show that the variation of the FWHM with frequency is dependent on the slope of the absorber bias versus self-pulsation frequency characteristic. The results have important implications for the design and selection of self-pulsating laser diodes for synchronization …

A Comparison Of Techniques For Time Delay Estimation, Aidan O'Dwyer Jan 1993

A Comparison Of Techniques For Time Delay Estimation, Aidan O'Dwyer

Conference papers

This paper reviews some of the techniques used for the identification of unknown lumped time delays in single input, single output (SISO) control systems and evaluates a number of these techniques in simulation and in implementation. Both off line and on line identification techniques are considered.
