All-optical clock recovery from both NRZ and NRZ-DPSK signals at different bit-rates

We propose and demonstrate all-optical clock recovery (CR) from both NRZ and NRZ-DPSK signals at different bit-rates, through simply preprocessing with single optical filter. Clock signal can be extracted successfully by cascading a CR unit.
