Abstract(in English) We describe ultrafast optical signal processing schemes utilizing mode-locked semiconductor laser diode (MLLD) for OTDM transmission over 100 Gbit/s. Polarization-insensitive all-optical clock recovery scheme of optical phase-lock loop (PLL) operating at 160 Gbit/s is presented. For the optical PLL described here the MLLD is operated as a voltage controlled oscillator, to which the error signal is fed back by forming a closed loop with a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) as a phase comparator and a low-frequency component as a loop filter. Cross-gain modulation in the SOA allows for high frequency PLL operation at 160Gbit/s. Also the bulk active layer with small polarization dependency is the origin of polarization insensitive clock-extraction operation. To demonstrate operation capabilities in real systems, we have examined all-optical clock extraction on the OTDM transmission test bed of 254km field-Installed fibers (Dojima-Keihanna, 63.5km, and 4 spans) at 160 Gbit/s. The measured root-mean-square (RMS) timing jitters of the recovered clock signal is as low as 240 fs which showed the feasibility of the clock extraction scheme for practical use in OTDM systems over 100 Gbit/s.
