A novel clock recovery scheme based on inband pilot insertion and extraction was demonstrated for ultrahigh bit rates Optical TimeDivision Multiplexing (OTDM) system. The clock recovery function was realized by inserting and extracting an inband clock pilot located in the data spectrum, which did not need any ultrafast phase comparator or phaselocked loop in the receiver. The scheme allowed fast synchronization, low timing jitter and highly stable recovered clock for OTDM receivers. The clock pilot was constructed with phase modulation and intensity modulation, respectively, which showed errorfree operation of 160to40 Gb/s demultiplexing. The proposed method simplfies clock recovery configuration throught preprocessing of data signal in the optical domain between optical transmitter and receiver, which is compatabile with standard OTDM system after minor modification of optical transmitter and receiver.

In order to generate a high quality multicarrier, the phenomenon caused by different phase deviation of radio frequency was analysed. In this paper, the theoretical analysis revealed that the quality of multicarrier would deteriorate gradually when the phase deviation decreases from 90° to 0°. But when phase deviation is slightly different from 90°, the quality of multicarrier is good enough for the application of optical communication. In the experiment, the qualities of multicarriers with phase deviation of 90°, 45° and 0° were compared. The best performance is obtained at 90°. Under the 45° phase deviation, fifty carriers can also be otainted, but the quality decreases slightly that is good enough to apply to optical communication. And a multicarrier under 0° phase deviation cannot be obtained.
A novel adaptive chromatic dispersion (CD) compensation method was proposed for digital coherent single carrier systems. Two pulse amplitude modulated pilot tones (PAMPTs) were inserted at both sidebands of the signal in the transmitter. The two line spectra of the PAMPTs can be found by searching the spectrum peaks in the upper and lower sideband. Before CD estimation (CDE), the laser frequency offset (LFO) can be directly estimated from the frequency drift of one of the PAMPTs. Then the signal spectrum was shifted on the reverse of the frequency axis to adjust the received spectrum of OFDE and compensate LFO. After that, the relative time delay between the two line spectra of the PAMPTs was recovered at the receiver and used for CD estimation, while the frequency of the PAMPT recovered was used for spectrum preadjustment of frequency domain CD equalization, Therefor by using this method, the field information of the PAMPTs was fully utilized for accurate CDE and CDC. Numerical simulations show that the CDE error is less than ±65 ps/nm for single time CDE and the averaged error is below ±10 ps/nm for all the distances from 200 to 1 000 km. The method enables much faster and more accurate CD adaptive compensation and reduces computational complexity.
