Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for clock recovery in subcarrier based coherent optical systems. In one aspect, an apparatus includes a plurality of phase detectors configured to generate a plurality of phase detection outputs by detecting a plurality of digital signals associated with a plurality of frequency bands, each of the plurality of phase detection outputs being associated with a respective one of the plurality of frequency bands, alignment circuitry coupled to the plurality of phase detectors and configured to align phases of the plurality of phase detection outputs to be substantially same, and averaging circuitry coupled to the alignment circuitry and configured to generate a particular output based on the plurality of phase detection outputs with the aligned phases. The plurality of digital signals is adjusted based on the particular output.
