57 Abstract AB [EN] An optoelectronic circuit for producing an optical clock signal that includes an optical thyristor, a waveguide structure and control circuitry. The waveguide structure is configured to split an optical pulse produced by the optical thyristor such that a first portion of such optical pulse is output as part of the optical clock signal and a second portion of such optical pulse is guided back to the optical thyristor to produce another optical pulse that is output as part of the optical clock signal. The control circuitry is operably coupled to terminals of the optical thyristor and receives first and second control signal inputs. The control circuitry is configured to selectively decrease frequency of the optical clock signal based on the first control signal input and to selectively increase frequency of the optical clock signal based on the second control signal input.
