ABSTRACT The spontaneous clock division of an optical pulse train at 2.5
GHz is reported. This divide by two function is achieved using a
semiconductor optical amplifier as the nonlinear element in a fibre loop
mirror, where the switching pulses are obtained by feeding back the
reflected loop output
