Abstract

We report all-optical synchronization and frequency division of mode-locked input signals, using a self-pulsating laser diode. The performance of mode-locked and sinusoidal input signals are compared. Synchronization and frequency division of the mode-locked signals is found to be easier to achieve. This result suggests that significant application may be found for this system.
