摘要
A simple clock enhanced loop of cascaded electro-absorption modulators （EAMs） and 10 GHz clock recovery modules is presented. The intensity of harmonic of clock-frequency component is analyzed theoretically and verified experimentally in a 160 Gb/s OTDM 100 km transmission system. The 10 GHz clock component is enhanced obviously before launching into the clock recovery module and the recovered clock signal exhibits low rms jitter of 〈400 fs. Moreover, completely error^-1free （10-12） transmission is observed for more than two hours without using forward error correction technology. The power penalty is about 3.6 dB. The proposed loop has merits of enhancing base clock component, simultaneously de-multiplexing and clock recovery, which make the performance of this loop more stable and high suppression of non-target channels.
