Abstract
Coherent phase recovery method includes producing, with a transmit-side frequency-comb source, a first frequency-comb signal that includes a pilot tone and a first optical tone having a first center wavelength that differs from a pilot center wavelength of the pilot tone. The method also includes coherently modulating the first optical tone to yield a first modulated signal; and generating a second frequency-comb signal with a receive-side frequency-comb source driven by the pilot tone. The method also includes extracting, from the second frequency-comb signal, a first local-oscillator tone having the first center wavelength; and demodulating the first modulated signal by homodyning the first modulated signal with the first local-oscillator tone.
