Abstract
In this paper, an optical phase-locked loop assisted by sum-frequency and second-harmonic generation (SS-OPLL) for frequency nondegenerate optical parametric phase-sensitive amplifier repeaters is experimentally demonstrated. First, theoretical derivations show that carrier extraction from phase-conjugated twin waves (PCTWs) and reference light generation are achieved by sum-frequency generation; therefore, the SS-OPLL circuit enables optical phase locking between PCTWs and a pump wave by a simple architecture based on a balanced OPLL. Then, optical phase locking between 20-Gbit/s quadrature phase-shift keying PCTWs and an individual pump source is experimentally demonstrated. Experimental results indicate that phase errors were reduced during the SS-OPLL operation.
