Summary :

We demonstrate all-optical clock recovery at 160 Gbit/s by injection locking of a 10 GHz mode-locked laser diode. Effective locking in a range of 10 MHz is observed for average input powers around -10 dBm. The timing jitter is analyzed for data rates between 10 Gbit/s and 160 Gbit/s. Beyond 40 Gbit/s, the high frequency timing jitter of the slave laser becomes of prime importance and has to be taken into account since it degrades the performance of a subsequent receiver. Increasing power penalties are found, especially beyond 80 Gbit/s.
