摘要
This paper presents a novel self-synchronization scheme utilizing a semiconductor optical amplifier and an optical band-pass filter. Implemented using cross gain modulation and self frequency shift, the proposed scheme has a simple structure that does not need any special marker pulses. With proper tuning of semiconductor optical amplifier and optical band-pass filter parameters and delay time of the control pulse, we, through simulation, obtain a synchronization clock with the intensity contrast ratio of more than 20 dB from RZ pseudorandom bit sequence at different operation speeds.
